Boortz reflects on his longtime skepticism of politicians and political candidates, questioning why people seek public office in the first place. He argues that many are motivated more by power than public service and discusses reforms he believes would improve government, including term limits, pay restraint for elected officials, accountability for political dishonesty, and basic civics requirements for candidates. Boortz also shares why he never pursued a political career despite occasionally considering it.
