Best Answer

Most human beings are selfish to a degree, and most people will want to get money if the can. It has been claimed that power corupts people, however some people say that people are corrupt naturally. These people argue that power creates opportunities for them to show that corruption. Because most politicians have power, they often use it for their own benefit. However, it can be argued that this does not really mean that they are more greedy than people who are not politicians, it just means that they have more opportunities than them.
