People who lack morals or ethics are very easy to lead. You can lead them around by the nose just by waving a few dollars in front of their face.
This is why the plutocrats put them in office.

@Pat So... maybe things will get better if they get too greedy and loose their lead there? One can hope...
A more expensive leash just means that fewer people hold the reins.
@Pat I meant like we all get shafted, but if the ones being bribed get shafted, other stuff happens.
"Schindlers liste", "Schindler's List" had just that happen.
I'm sorry but I lost you. I don't know what you mean. I guess we need dump the metaphors now...
In the US the wealthy choose who is in office. They pick people who they can easily bribe. If the officeholders ask for too much money in return for their laws and policies, then the wealthy will just replace them if the cost of replacement is less than the price that the officeholders are demanding.
The wealthy actually want the price of bribes to be a little high so that fewer people will be able to bribe the politicians and the wealthy will have more influence that way.
@Pat Agree. Sadly.
...And btw, it's very wrong, it's unfair, and it must change.
@Pat We toss around hoping, but we cannot accept responsibility for things we did not enact. Enjoy: https://poorlydrawnlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/what_difference.png
