Governments are run by people, at the end of the day
Humans will be humans. You can't eliminate corruption, but you can work to fight it. Every day. Forever...

The problem is politics and government becoming part of the market where laws, regulations and power can be sold and bought, if not for money then for influence.
Markets don't self-regulate, though
