Money and Politics

What economist Robert Reich observes here is true in the main.  Most people who aspire to political power have morals from hell, and Sinema is clearly one of them.

In fact, the people of ancient Greece recognized the obvious: those who crave power the most merit it the least.

But what to make of people like Bernie Sanders?  A long career in government in which money meant absolutely nothing.  He became a millionaire a few years ago when he made some royalties money from one of his books.
