Yes. They want paychecks without work, responsibility, or blame.
No. I see no evidence of that. Every chance people get to raise military or police spending or make up new laws to restrict people's choices, they take it.
The problem with that train of thought is that they were already rich when they got the job. Many of them actually spend more to get the job than the job even pays. They aren’t there for the pay, they are there for the power plays. Once you get in you know people, people mainly help those they are close to. Money is a means to an end (and integral to the storage process ) but it’s all about power and connections. Why else would someone pay $1M of their own money for a 50/50 shot at a job that pays $1.2M over 4 years?
