Self-enrichment on the part of government employees?! I am SHOCKED BEYOND ALL BELIEF.

/s

It's a distinct signal of pure ignorance that you conflate the highest levels of publicly elected executive leadership with "government employees".

We need more judges and prosecutors that are hungry to catch corruption and are willing to go after white collar crime.

We need people of the "can't afford a house, making 50K a year in a rural state" class in politics.

That would shake things up.

They will mysteriously suddenly be able to afford houses (plural) without making much more than 50K a year.
