        The corrupt are always attracted to power. The less power government have, the less corruption.

        Because people in power are affected by a system of incentives which encourage them to cut corners in order to stay in power. Its not because they're cruel monsters or have no moral compass. They're an actor in a system.

        It's a fact of life that power tends to have a detrimental effect on peoples character. The temptation to f**k around is just too much for the majority of those who gain such.
