The money they get now isn't attracting smarter legislators because their employers pay more for corrupt legislators.

They are so dumb they don't realize how obvious it is to the rest of us how corrupt they are.

Micchiche for instance 'makes'  $500,000 managing a mothballed plant for Conoco.  He has to sign a conflict of interest agreement...with Conoco.  

Robin Brena has the solution to the oil tax structure...but I doubt they will listen.
