Steve you are, unfortunately, right. Even the best fall prey to this. Hubert Humphrey, one of the liberals I truly admire, went to the Senate from his residence above his drugstore. By the time he was VP in the Johnson administration, he had a very large, very expensive lakefront house in an exclusive Minneapolis suburb. Nothing illegal, just honorariums for speeches and other such endeavors. Even our Supreme Court Justices participate in these practices. And we wonder why our elected representatives do not represent us.
