Is it okay for politicians to enrich their families by using their positions in the government? Examples being H****r B***n, Chelsea and Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi's husband, Mcconnel,s in laws, etc, etc , etc. Using their positions to enrich family members is against federal code of ethics but it is obviously ignored by a large number of politicians.

If it is okay to for politicians to use their position of power to enrich their family, then why do you believe it is okay?

If it is not okay to use their position of power to enrich family members, then, what do you think we as citizens could do about it?

Can we really do anything about their abuse of power?

Do we even care as long as they support policies we support?

If we don't care we go down to their level. They amass their fortunes by being part of their collusion to cover up for each other.
It would be great if they tripped over their own superiority and v**ed to look out for America and Americans.

It is NOT a violation of ethics rules. Guess who writes those ethics rules? Yep, the people who are taking advantage of the American people's apathy and inattention.

The solution is obvious..........................stop electing Democrats and Republicans.

Click the link I provided. H****r and Joe Biden are exact examples of a violation of the ethic rules.

Since we continue to elect these same Republicans and Democrats and the lack of response to my questions, I guess that answers my last question. We, as a group don't care.
