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.

the most direct solution. Read my quote about bringing fresh faces into a corrosive political system. You are just giving the old system new people to corrupt.
We have to change the environment first or we will not change anything and that will only come from the people. Our elected leaders will sell their souls for reelection so they are pretty useless in any reform movement. We the people have to decide this is a priority for us at election time. Otherwise it will never change.
