I work with an office full of guys making 80-90K who spend all day surfing the web with their thumbs up their asses. Why would anyone want to take on a job with real responsibility for that kind of money? Most of our public servants make their money or come from money before serving the people.

As for Morales, he's a socialist who won election primarily because he opposed the US sponsored eradication of Coca. Different stroke for different folks, I suppose. His grand plan includes increasing taxes for the top 1% of wage and property owners. His supporters acknoledge that it will have a negligible affect on the economy but will be looked upon favorably by his base.
