Washington is riddled with corruption, much of which actually is legal. The politicians and other insiders claim that more ethics laws and lobbying rules are the solution. Some even say the only answer is campaign finance laws that restrict 1st Amendment rights to fully participate in the political process. This Center for Freedom and Prosperity video explores a different hypothesis and concludes that big government is inherently corrupting. www.freedomandprosperity.org

5 Star! Article 1, Section 4 "The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year. . ." It doesn't sound like the original vision included career politicians and six-inch-thick bills circulating every few weeks.

I agree with you. I may not be very objective saying this but I feel that most of my generation so far (Generation Y I'm 20) has no idea how much corruption is going on in todays government. The same could be said about the past.

The banksters were responding to government regulators who were bitch-slapping them into dropping standards, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who were buying up tens of billions in toxic loans (thereby freeing up more money to loan out), and the stupid-assed FED which was distorting the market with low interest rates and a damned bailout culture.

Dumbest video ever.
Corruption is rampant in the private sector too Einstein. Were you asleep in 2008 when wall street and the banksters screwed the economy with their corruption.

Like the founding fathers believed, there was a higher law, above men, which was the God given right of Life, Liberty, and pursuit of property.

Look up CAFR (Comprehensive annual financial Report) for all government entities. Total revenue was 14 trillion. Gov. takes taxes, investment income, and enterprise income. We have NO deficit. In short gov takes in 3 times what they say is their "budget" and use deficits to increase taxes. We could have NO taxes at all and all gov services could be covered. Wake up

Interesting video. I agree that reducing the size of government reduces the opportunity for corruption. However there is a risk of myopic focus if that alone becomes a driving factor. Reducing complexity of the tax code - great. But what is the role and responsibility of government? Is the underlying disease one of navel-vision and greed in the population and is that governments fault?

Thank you for explaining that. Because if I had to do it, it'd have been a lot meaner. Hahaha.
