Politicians Are People Too

A study by the Washington Post finds significant correlation between the legislative behavior of politicians and their personal interests (homes, family members' employment, businesses, etc...). 

Shock. 

You mean to tell me that politicians sometimes use their positions of power for their own personal gain? 

Economists have actually been saying this since the early 60s.  Frankly, I assumed someone had already done studies on this topic.
