Is our Society heading towards Corruption?

In the U.S., corruption is seldom “corruption.” Take as an example our president, who has been utterly clear: he will not take money for his electoral campaign from lobbyists.

    remember that statement from the (advisor in some capacity) to bush..said something along the lines of found himself doing things he'd of never done or imagined doing before entering that placement, said it was like a vacuum...once u enter there's no out and only a further draw in. Thought that was pretty revealing when heard it. and don't think it's a repub/dem thing, it's everywhere all party's all capacity's. perhaps there's something spiritual going on here aswell

    After that, we need to read the book called "Retirement Heist".
