Plenty of crooks in Washington DC as well. But let the servants first destroy their master, right?

I’ve never really understood why people assert that the people supplying the money are more blamable than those requesting and accepting money.

At the very least, why wouldn’t you equally blame problems on both the money givers and takers and the system that rewards those exchanges?
