It is possible to have both.

It is, but spending your energy on researching and implementing the most effective way to annoy and obstruct people that are trying to exercise their rights?

Generally people that could work wherever they want and choose to not chase after money will probably go for something that has a high moral value (or is a noble cause) to them, like helping the poor. But not something like this.

I'd imagine that the only thing they might get out if this is political power which should translate into money.
