With all of that money floating around, there has to be corruption.

In fact, IMO, government and corruption are synonyms.

Joe or Jane six pack enters congress as ordinary middle class citizen, stays a few years and voila a millionaire.

And then there is nepotism, Hunter Biden trading on his fathers name.

He is the most obvious example. Lachlan Murdoch inheriting his fathes company while he is still alive.

Lisa Minelli would have been a nobody save for her parents.

Politics, entertainment, nepobabies where ever you look

Look at Saudi Arabia and the UAE, all of the sons and grandsons, nephews and cousins of the "King" and Sheiks, are millionaires.

Putin has billion dollar rubles all over Russia for his string of mistresses.

Corruption is what makes the world go round.
