I agree with you more than expected.
Yes, our politicians are crooked.

It's not like other countries where the politicians are getting cash bribes.
That would be inelegant, and lacks any kind of deniability.
Our politicians have rigged the game, and are too corrupt to even recognize what they are doing.
"It's just the way the game is played."
It may be their game... but they are burning through YOUR money.
