Senator Ron Wyden (D) of Oregon has floated the idea that Mark Zuckerberg has committed crimes by operating the website known as "Facebook."
In an interview published last week, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon discussed the consequences he believes Facebook should face for its repeated lies about privacy practices. Specifically, Wyden told Willamette Week that CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg may deserve prison time.
"Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly lied to the American people about privacy," Wyden said. "I think he ought to be held personally accountable, which is everything from financial fines to — and let me underline this — the possibility of a prison term. Because he hurt a lot of people. And, by the way, there is a precedent for this: In financial services, if the CEO and the executives lie about the financials, they can be held personally accountable."
The outlet included a citation of University of Oregon professor Tim Gleason who said the odds of Zuckerberg facing criminal action to be "slim."

I reckon you'll need to demonstrate that the voters transformed them politicians from decent people into assholes to show a cause-effect relationship.
Otherwise, voting for the asshole you dislike the least when you don't have other choices doesn't actually make them assholes in the first place.

I could direct you to some excellent genetic programming examples of iterated prisoner’s dilemma that tend to indicate this is essentially damn near certainty in probability...
Nah.

Well, there is Pavlov's famous experiment. B.F. Skinner provides other examples on the effects of conditioning. And then there's Milgram, etc... They all work both ways. But the voters do encourage bad behavior from these people just to get another tax cut/handout, and the politicians' owners know which buttons to push to agitate the voters. Very symbiotic.
La politica e i criminali sono la stessa cosa..
