This country was founded on deceit and corruption but that is nothing new to people who actually read history. I doubt any country is as pure as the citizens would like. I bet a majority of every state question the morals and illegal activities of their officials and government.

Before Katrina New Orleans police was corrupt from rookie to chief. It was well documented but who was going to say anything when the whole city government was on the take too. Is it any better now? I doubt it.

Texas has a reputation of being owned by Big Oil and Big Business. The right and left attorneys in the State Attorney General’s office just sent a letter about their Republican boss’s activities. A.G. Ken Paxton has spent his entire five years in office under a criminal indictment for securities fraud. For all those years his personal attorneys have stalled the courts from having a trial. Yes, not only was he elected the first time but he was elected again. Texans don’t seem to care how crooked their officials are.

We have problems with criminal activity just as all other states and countries. Influence is sold. A high school coach became a multi-millionaire after a few years in Congress. Even after our former Republican U.S. Congressman announced he was quitting, donations continued to flow into his campaign chest. Was that out of the kindness of their hearts? Ha-ha.

Law enforcement has some bad and very bad apples, but the vast majority are very honest and caring people who hate being tarnished by those few crooked and racist cops.

No system, group, or political party is pure but we keep voting for the same good or bad ones because they buy our loyalty and vote.
