Hint to politicians: Pay your taxes! And check the immigration status of your nannies!

Seriously, why are these two things so hard to do? You never see interesting nomination problems, just tired variations on stuff like this. I want someone to go down in flames for being a Lichtensteinian spy, or running a speakeasy in their Senate office, or jerrymandering their district to be the shape of an aroused camel. I don't think that is too much to ask of our public servants.

What scandals would you like to see?

Think this points to just how common and mundane illegal household help and tax evasion is. I suspect that politicians are not anymore dishonest about that than their other economic-class-peers. If anything, one would hope they would be more cautious, given potential for eventual scrutiny. Of course, one could instead make a deduction about the prudence/intelligence of politicians.
