* DemocracyIsFlawed: The ultimate message of the episode. While America's political and economic system is ripe with corrupt officials willing to take advantage of its freedoms for personal gain, justice will ultimately prevail as long as people stay vigilant and expose them.

I removed the “Dick Dastardly Stops To Cheat” example. This was about how the Congressman could have legally accepted donations if he did so openly. Firstly, this may be true but he was accepting a personal bribe, not a political donation (and so it’s reasonable he did not want this on the books). Second, this trope deals with a competitive endeavour where a bad guy gets ahead but chooses to work on sabotaging the hero rather than simply staying in the lead. The example as written deals with a case where the villain, in a non-competitive endeavour, may have been able to get ahead without doing something illegal. That does not fit with this trope.

* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Congressman Arnold meeting with and even taking donations from lobbyists isn't illegal, but doing it in a private, under the table meeting without records is.
