Why? Because politics is a career for these people. They will always choose to play it safe and further their personal career for their own personal well-being ahead of the people they represent. It's an endless dance between gaining public favor to advance their careers and working with the other politicians to "play the game".
Only term limits will change anything. And even those won't totally transform the corruption.
Exactly. If it was once again a civic duty to serve versus a power grab and profiteering venture, it would attract the people who would be there to do the best for our country.
Honestly - all politicians are like this.
