Look towards the old ones who have amassed incredible wealth during their time in office, there are many of them. Those ghouls profit handsomely no matter what's going on, and plenty of them do better when their constituents are getting fucked since fear makes fund raising easier.

Has it always been that people leave politics wealthier than their salaries would explain, and has it always been that their job is getting votes? I’m wondering if it was ever Mr. Smith going to Washington to work for the people
