However likely our politicians re not exceptional. Political elites elsewhere do the same, albeit by different ways form and guises. Greed and self interest are universal, and when seduced by access to power overwhelms moral imperatives. Such problem cannot be solved but perhaps may be mitigated if prerequisite (prime eligibility requirement) of holding position of high office is the qualification of being a multimillionaire (before given high office) and a way to objectively gauge and determine the candidate's quest for public service is motivated by desire only for glory, legacy and reputation for public service instead of access to power to make even more $$$$.
