They don't get it

I think it safe to say that most, or at least many, embezzlers have no intention of stealing but take a few dollars from the till 'until payday' but when payday comes and they find themselves too short to put it back or even make all other financial commitments, they far too often take a little more from the till, maybe even telling themselves this will be the last and they are absolutely going to pay it back the next payday.

We, far too often this scenario keeps repeating until the individual has taken so much all they can do now is attempt to keep it covered up and more than likely keep taking more until they're caught.

I think maybe this happens to far too many members of Congress who initially are elected and go to Washington, the state house, county seat or city hall, with full intentions of only doing the best they can and not succumb to the temptation of profiting personally from their position.

Alas and alack, the soon fall into the “they do it syndrome” and the die is cast. From this point on it becomes “what’s in it for me” if only to insure re-election but more often that not it’s full speed ahead for ‘pork’, ‘perks’, lobbyists largesse and whatever else they can get for themselves.

All one needs to do to make this become very real is learn your member of Congress is accepting money from a powerful organization causing your grief that may influence how the member of Congress acts.
