It's like Serpico. The ones that don't take payoffs are viewed with suspicion, because the honest ones might act to take down the corrupt ones.
Thus, the honest ones are hounded, and pressured, and called fools, until they either give in and take the payoffs, or they're forced out of office by the party (either party).
That was true of Cynthia McKinney, for example. She was investigating the "missing" billions, and the human trafficking, and refused to stop. Her constituent voters loved her, but the Democrats conspired to force her out.
I agree with this. In other professions you participate in order to have a career. Same with a business. The dark money in America needs to be stopped by the SEC.
