If you can't articulate some rationale don't bother replying. I don't particularly care for guessing games. If you're implying that Dictatorships and Communism are "corrupt organizations", you're wrong. Communist countries aren't victims of inherently corrupt organizations; Communism is a system which encourages corruption in individuals. Same as the two-party system you're bitching about, but an order of magnitude worse. Dictatorships are a slight variant. At the end of the day, it is people that are corrupt or not. If an organization is structured such that there is no downside to corruption, then it will proliferate as people rationalize corruption by looking at their neighbors and associates. In the US there is a downside which limits proliferation, but you still have corrupt people in whose freezers you will find the money. Rather than engage in this endless talk, why don't you tell me what political system (versus the two-parties) you think the US might be able to adopt that would be LESS corrupt?
