There is only one way to end the corruption: OUTLAW CAREER POLITICIANS.
No laws will solve the problem. The problem is the nature of man.
Correct.
The Founding Fathers merely tried to minimize inevitable human lust for power by restricting the power of the federal government to the absolute minimum. There’s no point in political bribes if political power is severely limited.
We have reached a level of systemic corruption which must be addressed. It’s easy to catch a stupid crook (see the State f New York in Albany), however, the corruption of our political system is so deep and pervasive that it is not even recognized as corruption, but rather, the “way things are done in Washington.” We must make fundamental changes to our system of government immediately or it will crumble from internal rot and purtification. Reform now.
