Austria is a country. Countries have problems, including corrupt government officials. Therefore, Austria has corrupt government officials. looks like the transitive property works in more than just math. Well, the article talks about a purposed measure to stop corruption in government officials. the measure is supported by different parties and seems like a pretty good idea. The whole thing seems pretty simple- keep an official on the payroll long enough to make sure they don't do any insider trading with big business. the example given is a politician on an energy panel can't resign and immediately join the board at an energy company. Things like this are making the people of Austria disillusioned in the government just like how they are in America.
I think this is a good idea, but i'm a pretty liberal kind of individual. I feel that people in positions of public power shouldn't leverage those positions for the highest degree of personal profit. A few days ago there was someone on to talk about something like this that's happening in the US government. It turns out that insider trading is only illegal if you aren't a federal official- sorry Martha Stewart fugg you. this has lead to legal insider trading all across the board; companies have sprung up to legally collect and distribute this information to american companies. America must be a country too.

Every country may run their government in different ways but they all seem to have the same problems. There's a reason I don't get into government and politics, because whenever I seem to hear about them it always seems to be bad and corrupt. Politics is politics and government is government, they're all the same to me.
