I give most US politicians the benefit of the doubt. They are usually loathed, but I believe do want to make things better as opposed to enrich themselves. So they can start acting like it. Your job is bigger than yourself now. You are the highest of public servant. The cost of money-motivated grifters and immense distrust from the public is far greater than the cost of losing a few people who would be good politicians but need to live lavishly. Financial transparency above and beyond regular citizens, middle income, middle housing. That's a fair shake. How can you stay in touch with the average citizen when you have three lavish estates?
