Even when gov was much smaller back in the 1800s corruption was a big problem. Its laughable to think that if you shrank gov small enough that corruption mean nothing. That is historically false.

Now if we had regulations that made it so that people could not buy or bribe our gov and punishments that put people in jail for a long time who did so, that might go a long way in fixing this mess. But as I said you and admitted, you do want regulations.

So about who is being ridiculous now?
