If you want to knock out the corruption, start attacking insider trading and/or make anyone in the House/Senate put their family stocks in blind trusts just like the the POTUS has to do. If they did that, i wonder how many would be multi-millionaires after their terms are up and would probably put an end to life time terms. Ofc some would find a way around it, but catch them and nail them hard to dissuade others from trying.
The President does not have to place his holdings in a blind trust. It became a tradition and a norm that Donald Trump, of course, shattered by his refusal to do the same with his. Thus we had the spectacle of those wanting favors and attention from him putting money into his pocket by spending lavishly at the DC Trump Hotel
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
