 Politicians are people, people are corruptible, and corruption happens when 
 the rewards outweigh the consequences.  Make the consequences much tougher 
 and the temptation won't be so strong.  I propose all politicians found 
 guilty of corruption be banished to some place like Iqaluktuuttiaq for a 
 year or two, where they can quitly freeze while thinking about their 
 wrongdoings. That, and community service at minimum wage to pay back every 
 cent they have stolen, even if it means doing so the rest of their natural 
 lives.
