The halls of Congress are not hallowed. So many members of Congress have been caught red-handed taking bribes and kickbacks, in scandals that left some politicians imprisoned. It is abundantly clear, Congress operates more for America's wealthy, than the everyday citizen, evidenced by the fact, the 2008 financial crisis was allowed to happen. 

Congress, as the nation's legislative body, looked the other way to corruption and assorted criminal misconduct in the corporate sector, facilitating an unprecedented economic crash that wiped away trillions in wealth. Recent scandals reveal corruption still exists in Congress, with no signs of stopping.
