Do the same possibilities for illegal gains for politicians that existed in the Gilded Age still exist today?
I am having trouble answering this question. I know that in the Gilded Age Ulysses S. Grant was the president and that he gave high-level jobs to untrustworthy friends. Bribing government officials was also common. I am having trouble connecting this to illegal gains for politicians living today.
