The Founding Fathers clearly viewed service to the nation for what it should be: a sacrifice, not as a road to riches and/or fame. The same cannot be said for most of today's politicians, who largely serve themselves, lining their pockets the whole way.

Absolutely. There is a degradation of ethics at the core of so many facets of our society. Without the ethical obligations of service, self-sacrifice, righteousness, & justice- call them Biblical truths or philosophical standards- personal gain becomes the center always.
