Not really, except it comes off as you hope the people currently employed as lobbyists and weapons manufactures lose their jobs. Once they get canned, someone else could take their place. Sounds like the disagreement is with the position itself, not the person who happens to be holding the job
Re:Hearts and Stomachs: Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”

My favorite "fun" fact about The Jungle was that Sinclair originally meant the book to expose the working conditions of the meat packing plants, but instead everyone focused on the way the meat was processed and got up in arms about that instead. He apparently also had to tone down some of the book's more socialist leanings before being allowed to publish it.
