I guess once you make it to DC ranks, corruption is kept in-house and everyone zips their lips and leadership uses what they know to keep everyone voting the “right” way (or to get rid of you when you aren’t going along with the program).
Hmmm, have you ever had any politician come out and explain the corruption that happens in Congress? From insider trading to guiding funds to supporters...it happens all the time. Just ask Polosi.
We all know that it exists but proving it seems unrealistic of even so, not prosecutable.
Heck, why do so many ex-politicians become intrenched in the DC government. Most become lobbyists or in another words, influence peddlers. Do you really think that they do this for other reasons than money and power?
Out political system is so corrupt that it could not be corrected by laws. That problem is because laws are for the little people made by those in power.
