Corrupt people are everywhere, its the system that allows them in and lets them cover their tracks.
A system where the rich get richer and the poor get mauled, where lobbies and corporates can finance and buy politicians and media, commit crimes and then get bailed out, where police can violently suppress your right to protest, spy on you, arrest you in secret without evidence or trial, its evidently the system which is at fault here.
But is that really the best we can hope for? Because if thats the best, then we are pretty much doomed.
