    If they know they are going to get fired, they will maximize the amount of money they can get paid by greasing as many hands as possible before they are kicked out.

      If they know they’re going to be a Congress member for life… they’re also going to maximize the amount of money they can get paid lol

        There’s a big gap between “congress for life” and “term limits”, and that gap mostly consists of “winning re-election”.

          Winning reelection in America is more about who you know than appealing to voters. The Party protects its incumbents.

          What are you gonna do? Vote for the other Party? 😂
