Corruption
R. Neal, addressing my corruption post at No Silence Here, says:
And who knew politicians could be bought so cheaply? Some amounts mentioned in the Tennessee Waltz sting are laughably small – $1000 here and $6000 there. Why would someone risk their career and reputation for amounts that small?
Well, like any other low-margin business model, they make their cash on volume. It’s not a single $1K transaction, I would guess. It’s many, many $1K transactions.
