The really just question to ask though is: how rich can a politician get? And I'm not talking --even though that's despicable-- about a billionaire-now-president that enriches himself and his family.

I'm talking about the estimated wealth of the like of of Ilhan Omar (the somali woman politician).

Just like jesuit priests do take a vow of chastity, I think politicians should have a vow of poverty.

The only way to have a functional society is not to prevent the billionaires from getting to a billion: it's to prevent politicians from enriching themselves.
