Then you have to ask yourself two things- how much money they have before entering politics - and how much are they worth now?
The crooked ones are the ones that made the most money by virtue of holding public office.
Agreed?
Not necessarily. Those politicians who enrich themselves while in office and through the operation of that office are certainly suspect. Once out of office, if they make great walloping wads of cash via giving speeches, writing books, arranging film or television deals, that's not necessarily a sign of criminality.
