It's more that corruption is to say the system isn't supposed to work this way.

corruption noun cor·​rup·​tion kə-ˈrəp-shən Synonyms of corruption 1 a : dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers) : depravity b : inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (such as bribery) the corruption of government officials c : a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct the corruption of a text the corruption of computer files d : decay, decomposition the corruption of a carcass

It's not dishonest or illegal behavior. It is entirely within the fucked up letter of the law. Systemic change is needed not purity.

The letter of the law being what it is due to corruption.

It's really not if you read the constitution you'll see how it gives power to the elites/ruling class and why the anti federalists opposed the constitution.
