Most would agree with your point - right up until you suggest that having an "uncorrupt government" is remotely possible.

Pretty much the same level of unrealistic idealism as folks who think it's remotely possible to transition a state to communism without it turning into authoritarianism.

Edit: Except, I guess for the hardcore capitalists, but I assume those guys are all too dumb to read, so no point, really ๐Ÿคท
