An honest politician is like an honest prostitute. You take their money and then you screw them.

I think the problem is in the use of the pronoun "their" in the second sentence. The sentence is intended to be an example of how the process works. However, it can be read as connected to the preceding sentence with "their" applying to the word "prostitute".

If the second sentence had been: "They take your money then they screw you.", then it would have been more clear. The "they" would have referred to the immediately preceding noun...prostitute.

ln either case, it's a dangerous shtup.
