for elected officials, you are just adding fresh meat to a corrupt and corrosive system. No long term improvement will be made until we reform the way we select and give incentives to those who govern on our behalf.
It's kind of hard to do that when the corrupt ones are the ones creating the incentive programs and determining their salaries and benefits. Read my quote, I believe it applies to this situation.
