Woah...just a minute there...

...Diplomacy is now an inherently aristocratic endeavor. Doesn't the U.S. appoint ambassadors as a political favor, esp to big donors? Big donors can donate big because they're part of the 1% aristocrat class. It would be inappropriate to expect an aristocrat to embrace the lifestyle of a commoner just because of a politically motivated appointment. i.e. w/o requisite perks the appointment could hardly be considered a favor. It's also wise to keep in mind that w/o commensurate compensation, the best potential diplomats will pursue other comparatively more lucrative professions such as CEOs of multinational corporations, banking, securities trading and portfolio management and tier 1 college football coaching. We need more talent in the diplomacy field, not less.
