    I would argue it’s rich people and not politicians in general. We have some kind of poor politicians (<1 million) and the never do bullshit like that while we also have rich politicians which all the time do stuff like that.

    There are politicians that really try to serve the people and there are politicians that are only in the game for money and power and we need to sort that out!

      Look, I’m older than the majority of the crowd around here; I’ve lived in several countries and unfortunately that’s the way it is with politicians. Sure, I don’t doubt there are a few here and there who are “idealists”, but if they stay long enough in politics, they’ll join the group who wants power and money. And it happens with the left and the right. Some politicians are happy with a steady income of a few thousand of dollars and some with billions of dollars deals.
