I assume that the unbalancedness in income between a honest politician and a mobster is much bigger in Russia than in Wash., D.C. For the sake of our history books, could you please identify the honest Wash DC politician?

<< Robert, you are really an idealistic man, >> Thanks. << it seems you assume the Russian leaders should rather steal money from YOUR state's government than from the treasury of their own state. >> My humble apology, but you have misunderstood my point. The Russian leaders don't care who they steal from. << ... the Russian population is poorer than the US population on average? >> Sad, isn't it. The Communist form of government, which lets a government dictatorship determine what is best for the people, always winds up with very wealthy leaders and very poor people.
