That is the only reason people want to be in government, for money. And I’m not talking about their salaries. They all make tons of money doing things they shouldn’t be doing. It’s ridiculous. And we just allow it to happen. And this is yet another reason I always say voting will never fix things. Just look at the Clintons and the Obamas. Neither of them were rich but when they got out of the White House they had more money than they knew what to do with.
Not voting just makes the problem worse because they think people are OK with it. Instead, vote for the one you think is most honest, or at least the new person every time. Personally I sent an e-mail to Inhofe saying he should resign because of it, or at least not run again.
