When you lie for money that's called, fraud. When you lie for power that's called, politics.

The Last politician who was a honest man. Left office with no fortune, but Congress approved a pension plan for him. He didn’t want to burden the people with a permanent salary for his small public service.

All politcians are paid with extorted money so they are all crooks period.

​@@Irish381 Last President, perhaps, but not the last politician. Barry Goldwater was in the Senate until the 1980s... whereupon he was succeeded by John "I'd rather leave POWs to rot than let them tell on me" McCain. Talk about night and day, eh?

@@1krani indeed a great contrast from the military veteran’s beloved president. To the McRage and Goldwater politicians.

They serve the public... to mega corporations... for bribe money.

Can't have corporatism without them.

they aren't anymore

​@@sheilaolfieway1885they never were

​@@tugalordthe earliest founders of this country were - but they expected the ones that followed them to serve a couple of terms and then go back home

It still is when done by politicians, they are just much more likely to get away with it. It's like saying (back in 20s chicago) "Murder is illegal! Unless you're Al Capone!". Oh yeah also insider trading is legal if it does not violate company policy, copyright laws, infringe on trade secrets etc.

Didn't notice that, but yes more of that plz

Funny how that works. 🤔

Mostly politicians from the left, that supposedly HATE capitalism! Ain't that a hoot?

@@USA_UNITED1776 the solution imho is prohibit them from holding stocks while in office. If this in dumb please tell me I thought that up in like 10 seconds max

If he covered all the corruption in DC, this would have been a *very* lengthy video - probably a whole series...

And kick-backs from pharmaceutical companies.

@@LynyrdSkynyrd.4Ever He should do exactly that: a series on all the corruption in DC.

you also forgot the politicians getting jobs at said companies afterward for a large sum of cash for their actions. Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

considering their geriatric thinking, overall job performance, and approval ratings, this might actually be a good thing. Can you imagine how much damage they could do if they were at work more often and working hard?

Exactly. And top tier health care. I think this video is one of the very rare that is misleading because there’s a very dark world hidden that no one discusses in regards to perks…

And congress as well.

President stipend is only 50k a year, it's the benefits like secret service protection that are worth much more

@@USA_UNITED1776 Again, the former presidents have no value to anyone but themselves and the family. Not to the nation.

@@USA_UNITED1776 makes me wonder of trump donates his stipends to charity like he did his salary. certainly don't blame him for the secret service protection though. if anyone has to worry, it's him. both parties can't stand him and want nothing less than his very presence erased from the whole of the corrupted gov. we have.

i saw that too 😂

And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning. 16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms. 17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever thing he desired. 18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God; 19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man. 20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites. 21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi. 22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not. 23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain-and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. 24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up. 25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning. 26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved. -Excerpt is from Ether 8 in "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ".

Virginia is kinda on the up as of late, we got rid of ralph northam though the meat allergy ticks are booming in numbers apparently

Hey shut up. Putin is evil that is all you need to know.

I live in Virginia and voted against democrats every chance I’ve gotten. Seems like most people outside of Virginian cities are based. Like most “blue states,” we’re actually a red state being screwed over by blue cities.

I actually got bit by one of those dew years back. Luckily I didn't get the allergy so I can still eat red meat.

You mean Israel?

​@@somehowstillhere8766why not? And Ukraine, and Russia, and Venezuela, and China, did I mention China?

@@sinisterthoughts2896 all valid criticisms. But the test for someone who says they have an issue with US government officials having dealings with foreign countries is whether or not they ignore Israeli influence over the US or not.

I laughed so hard at that "island" line, that I choked on my coffee!

It's important for politicians to be well paid so they're not easily bribed. No one likes to mention this fact because its not a very stick-it-to-the-man sentiment, but even the Founding Fathers realized this, hence why it was written in the Federalist Papers.

Excellent. I'm glad this has resulted in no bribery in Washington... waittt. We aren't all stupid. We know the idea. We see it not working in real time thus the complaint.

​​@@Dennis-nc3vwexcept politicians are being bribed, it's called lobbying instead bribing.

Unfortunately, the laws that need to be made are against the people making the laws.

Thank "Bob's Journey to the Future" for that character growth.

Yeah but if he got fired by other politicians, or threatened with the boot, he'd just shove incriminating evidence their way too. Federal politics is really just a smaller case of MAD, but a larger case of no honor among thieves

And when you consider it the presidential salary is not actually competitive compared to your executive salary in a private company those guys are making millions perhaps even billions presidents used to practically become poor after office and are not just running one company they're running the entire country
