In a democracy, it's good that our leaders are from business!

Because they go back from whence they came!  The founding fathers of the country could thereby avoid turning the country into an autocracy.

Right now, Congressional legislators are deciding whether to go for another term in office or return to private life--typically, in some business venture or in an educational institution.

But where would President Putin go should he return to a former position?  Clearly with the Russian intelligence, known then as the KGB.  As President of Russia, he is promoting the interests of government among the citizenry simply because that's what he's been trained to do--as any autocrat is bound to continue to do.

The problem with the lack of training in a business or training is that the leader is not promoting the affairs of the people but of a particular group that would control and direct the people for their own ends.  Little wonder, that President Putin has several palaces--or, so it has been reported--scattered throughout the country.  And he is said to have a coterie of plutocrats hanging on his coattails.   

The Chinese President Xi looks forward to further honors and accolades in his quest to make the Chinese people his people, following his direction given his expanse of knowledge and training and social standing.

 The career leader in government without distinction in business or some other social enterprise cannot simply have a gripe, then enter politics, make his contribution to society's largesse, and afterwards return to a life of productivity of goods and services--upon which his society is dependent for its growth and development as a people for centuries to come.
