Is Government Corruption America's Biggest Problem?

[scottie55]

I think every single problem our nation faces is a direct result of our pay to play government. From war profiteering, to tax havens, and climate change denial. In my opinion it is also getting worse. Much worse, fast. We already knew about the tax havens and neither party is saying a word about the tax avoiders. How long before we are all on cat food?

It's obviously a massive massive problem, but...

Corruption in America is an outcome of people attitude TOWARDS corruption.

The problem is Americans.

Just like with gun violence, high incarceration rates, racism, greed... It's all about Americans attitudes and beliefs and willingness to change...
