Basically, in a nutshell if you are corrupt you get lots of money and a lavishly funded lifestyle. You behave as if you are the ruling class and your shit don't stink. You also bring all that corruption to your office behaving in an arrogant and despicable manner. For those who don't cheat, lie and steal this is a big disadvantage. How are decent, moral, honest people supposed to compete with this?? As we've seen the good people aren't getting into these offices as they should bc it's not a level playing field. Add stolen elections to the mix a boom! America is defeated from within. This is where we are today.
