Can a President be POOR??

Not here, duh, that would be INSANE and IMPOSSIBLE, but in Uruguay, sure! José Mujica is president there and he lives off $800/month, donating 90% of his salary. I like this man, based on this short article about him. (“With two years remaining in his term, Mr. Mujica seems to cherish the freedom to speak his mind. About his religious beliefs, he said he was still searching for God.”)
