I mean, it's just the old argument of does the power corrupt or do the corrupt seek out power.
I believe it's the power itself. I do not believe politicians go into politics exclusively for what they can gain. I believe many, if not most, really believe their ideas are best and can help people. . . the graft and corruption just sort of comes in later when they realize all that is possible.

- Loughla 5y agoWhy? Don't truck drivers want money and influence as well, or are they somehow inherently different for reasons that I do not currently understand?
