Not if we start hanging those who take bribes. In fact, I’d argue that the reason for most of what’s happening right now is that politicians and the rich are not at all scared of being dragged out of their homes by an angry mob and hanged for their crimes against humanity.

there are not-corrupt senators. There wouldn’t be if they couldn’t afford to live.

Yes. We should have anti-corruption laws being reliably forced, and have anti-corruption laws strengthened.
that won’t happen if all the good ones leave because they can’t afford to live in DC.
