摘　　要：在美国普通民众心目中,国会议员从来就不曾有过大公无私、正义凛然、为国为民的正面形象。美国国会"染指生活中每一个可能想象得到的方面",公权腐败的各种形态在国会山里都能找到事例,"权钱交易"、"权权交易"、"假公肥私"等腐败行为已经成为"老传统"。国会议员腐败表现在收受贿赂、贪污公款、免费旅行、内幕交易、规避议会院外收入限制、利用影响力为亲友牟利等多方面。国会议员腐败多与游说相关,窝案、串案较多,"软性腐败"普遍,查处困难,腐败丑闻常夹杂党派斗争。在资本主义根本制度不变的情况下,在资本的"恶"没有得到有效约束与扼制的情况下,国会议员代表"钱"的利益,实质是"私"的利益,不会也不可能是"民"与"公"的利益。In the eyes of ordinary Americans,members of the Congress have never had a positive image of selflessness,justice and serving the country and the people.The US Congress“affects every conceivable aspect of life”,and all forms of public power corruption can be found in the Capitol Hill.Corrupt behavior such as“power transaction”,“transaction between power and money”and“abusing power for personal gains”has been an“old tradition”.Corruption of US congressmen is mainly manifested in bribery,embezzlement,free travel,insider trading,evading the cap for out-of-the-Congress income,and using their influence to help their relatives and friends make profit,etc.As much of the corruption of US congressmen is related to lobbying,there are much organized corruption and systematic corruption.“Soft corruption”is widespread and difficult to investigate and dealt with.The corruption scandals often involve partisan battles.When the capitalist system remains unchanged and the“evil”of capital is not effectively restrained and curbed,US congressmen can only represent the interest of“money”,which in essence is the interest of the“private”and cannot be the interest of the“people”and the“public”.
