<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 8146282, member: 13650&quot;]What I find the most interesting, without trying to get too political, is that if an elected official or employee at the state level, (at least in Illinois after the crack down and new focus on ethics statewide,) is caught taking a bribe, no matter how small, you face JAIL TIME!!&nbsp; <u>PRISON</u>!!&nbsp; &nbsp; $1000?&nbsp;&nbsp; $200?&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re getting fired and indicted here as it should be.&nbsp; It&#039;s the only way the system can work.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; At the federal level, good ole boys club, we have lobbyists and politicians becoming multi-millionaires on low six figure salaries.&nbsp; &nbsp; Society would say, &quot;that&#039;s not ok either&quot; BUT there&#039;s no level of oversight beyond that SOOO they do as they please and that has become acceptable.&nbsp;&nbsp; The only recourse is to hopefully have a fair election system to vote them out.&nbsp; ( If we still have equally run/ fair elections across the entire country which I find highly doubtful as we already see what no oversight leads to. )&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; No term limits and endless lobbyists = dysfunctional government forever.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Thinking a new election will solve anything is like performing a bodily function into the wind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
