Why are people in the government so corrupt?
<|assistant|>
People in the government tend to be corrupt for several reasons. One of the most prominent reasons is the lack of accountability and scrutiny. In many cases, public figures in power are rarely held to the same standards as everyone else. Furthermore, people in positions of influence have access to money and resources that give them power and access to people and things that are not available to everyone else. This power dynamic allows people in positions of influence to exploit their advantages for personal gain. Additionally, governments and elected officials often create an infrastructure of rules, regulations, and loopholes that serve to protect them from prosecution and allow for increased opportunities for corrupt acts to go unnoticed.
