Politics gives them another jus another way to exploit that. There are those , no matter, their poor situation, do not engage in criminal activity. Ther are still others who who, even if quite well off will be looking fo ways to to get even more. I do believe politicians have more of that kind then other groups.

Now-a-days it's become an investment: You put in the time & money for the education then spend the rest of your life Milking the Ill & Infirm. IOW: They've gone a long way since "Mr. Smith Went To Washington" _________________________ . "...or am I a butterfly dreaming she's a woman?"

This guy is doing less.- though still pretty bad. Reagan & Bush Sr should have been Impeached !! FAR worse than anything Clinton or BO has even thought of !! Then you have dip wad Jr and he should have too !

I can still see that worm standing in from of the Senate with his hand up taking that oath. Then saying he thought it would be "neat"to do what he did. I believe that was the word he used.
