It's not about the money for some of these political leaders...it's about the power! The power to tell people what to do or power to make changes they think are good for the common people but in reality, they have no clue what is good for the common people because they can't relate on their level.
I don't trust any political leader...

For Republicans living in Washington, it is the desire to be accepted by the locals and the media. They always seem to forget why they were elected. Democrats don't get corrupted in the same way because they are expected to spend money an everything.
The other corruption seems to involve all politicians when they try to make deals to get their special interest projects passed.

More wealth but power is the main culprit just as it has always been. That's why we need term limits and that's why they avoid bringing it to the table, they will lose their power if they do.

Wait until he announces the national emergency in the next few months and establishes himself as supreme ruler. Then you will have your answer.

He's a criminal to begin with; with more money than brains. A dictator. A puppet for the Rockefellers.

I don't know, they are like pack rats. They are the biggest hoarders that their are. They can never spend it, but they want more! And they get it! Right George?
