If you are talking government involvement, that's the way to bet. From top to bottom, ALL people are in government to prosper.
Consider: Congress slug Conyers spent 52 YEARS in office, and somehow became a millionaire. I'm willing to extend a little supposition that he wasn't honest...
While I share your understandable cynicism about those in high offices that seem to magically go from penniless to millionaires, as a former mayor and current city administrator I do take exception to the blanket statement that all people in government are in it to “prosper.” Granted, every job I had (most of which in the private sector) I set out to “prosper” in as much as I wanted to earn enough to provide for my family.
That said, my reason for being in government is that if conservatives just sit off to the side and cluck their tongues at how liberal government is but are unwilling to take on the challenge of applying conservative principles inside public entities, then we have indeed lost. If I’m not here pushing for greater transparency, lean budgets devoid of peace fountains or crazy social engineering experiments then some some run of the mill liberal would be in this chair doing exactly the opposite. A conservative city administrator is just beneath the level of leprechaun status in this universe - but there are a few of us trying to apply & demonstrate conservative principles & common sense on a day to day basis; and to seek to mentor other staff (and the public) in such lines of thinking.
For what it is worth, I’ve found it true that conservatives are the only ones that shoot their own wounded. I get criticism for “not being conservative enough” from fellow conservatives while at the same time because I refuse to advocate for dumping tax dollars on every silly liberal idea I’m a “nazi” in the eyes of liberals because I say no to such stuff. Liberal city administrators have a built in cheering squad with unions and democrats and rarely have to fight battles on two fronts. Getting lumped in with blanket statements about all in government being corrupt gets wearisome after a while.
You have no idea what you are talking about
So do you really think everyone in the military, every scientist, every technician, every doctor, every nurse, every admin, every whatever other job title is corrup?
What planet do you live on?
