When you trust people in power to hold themselves accountable, accountability seems to disappear over time.

There's no trust there. They're in power and have a good deal of money, so there isn't a whole lot we can actually do about it. Arguably, wanting power for the express purposes of making a buck and being less accountable for anything is a good reason for running for office.
