How does Political Corruption affect people?
Q. How does Political Corruption affect people? And the country as a whole?
Asked by Haine - Tue May 19 22:57:39 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. One of the main things is financially - political corruption enables people to stay in power ether on the state or national level . While in power they are able to direct tax payer money to their agenda & pet projects - which in turn keeps local donors happy and willing to overlook small indiscretions (aka bribes, slanted bids , etc) It effects the country when it is viewed as the norm instead of something to clean out of politics & costs the country billions of dollars each and every year in not so subtle pork projects to out&out payoffs of government contracts

Will the corporate controlled media ever expose Political corruption like Watergate again?
Q. In this day and age it seems as though the "free western media" has just become and extension or large corporations and the government for propaganda. Do you think the media will ever uncover something like Watergate again? Do you think that even if they uncover it somehow they will not actually publicize it? Do you think that corruption like that is in progress but the media won't even touch it? I could ask many more like that but...tell me what you think?

A. No I feel that they are too tied to business and they are carefully controlled by the mega corporations that own them. It will take a courageous blogger or Internet journalist to uncover something like Watergate again.

How come nobody is talking about McCain's own political corruption?
Q. He was a member of the Keating Five, , and the S&L bailout of the 80's. This is highly relevant to the failed GOP economic policies of today, leading to even bigger bailouts and more bank failures than ever before.

A. Because the plan of the republican party, was to put Palin in as a distraction. And guess what? It's working, but the only people fooled, are the same republican sheep, that voted for a corrupt President the last 2 elections. She's a mighty nice trinket, for them, and as long as McCain wears her on his arm, they won't care about him.

What was the impact of political corruption during the gilded age??
Q. How did it affect the people?? in what ways did it do more good than harm??
Asked by Lola J - Wed Oct 3 11:27:35 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Political corruption during the Gilded Age (about the 1890s) usually refers to the political bosses and their party "machines." Politicians in this era bought votes by providing services to the people in their districts. For instance, they would meet new immigrants off the boats, and help them find places to live. In return they expected votes. George Washington Plunkitt was part of the Tammany Hall machine. He believed in "honest graft" and "dishonest graft." Honest graft was when he bought a parcel of land he knew the city was going to buy for a project, and then sell it to them at a huge profit. Dishonest graft was buying a parcel of land and then trying to get the city to use it for a project, and then sell it. The positive… [cont.]

A. One example I can think of is that the Legions were at a time mobilized against other Roman factions instead of a common enemy. For example. One emporer (forgot which) recalled most forces from Britain to come back to Rome in case he needed to wage civil war for his own personal gain. The later in the empire, the more this kind of stuff happened.

A. I would like to see term limits for all politicians. One six year term for president and congress. This would ensure a routine turnover of the people in power and, I believe, limit corruption. Not only that, but it would cause new ideas and beliefs/values to be constantly introduced making for a more accurate representation of the voters.

A. Ultimately, political corruption is far more damaging. Terrorism is done by people from without who generally do not have power. Corruption comes from within. The best analogy I have heard for corruption is alcoholism. Most alcoholics have problems in the rest of their lives: marriage, family, work, school, legal problems. But when they stop drinking, the other problems begin to fix themselves. Money is to Washington what booze is to alcoholics. The only way to fix Washington is to get money out of the political system. Once that happens, all the other problems that seem so difficult can be fixed as well.
