our government is unbelievable and totally fuking corrupt. We the American people have to stand up, and fight for what we believe in and know is wrong. The ignorant ones in the country deserve what's coming, but our children don't. We are so fuked. American blood will be spilled on American soil, there will be another revolution most likely.

It is very much corrupt. But not necessarily in the term in which you think. Consider that in the days of Ben Franklin, the idea was that the representatives shold receive a small stipend so that even the poor could go, spending time away from the family farm and serve. Today, the average representative makes somewhere between $90,000 and $200,000 a year -- to represent people who make around $40,000 a year. And we allowed them to vote themselves a pay raise!
In the name of expediency, we allow our rep.s to coat tail bills that they know will not stand on their own merrit and pass into law. This alone clouds the already murky water of who voted for what and who refused...
The people cried for a reduction in spending -- most specifically the military budget. Privatization was introduced as a means to an end. So, now we pay civilians a small fortune to come and do the work on our bases that was initially done by the enlistees -- who did it for next to nothing. Halliburton is big in this issue. Everyone screams about the V.P and Halliburton. But it was the democrats who shoved privatization down our throats. The V.P., by law, had to divest in all stocks and interests prior to taking public office. Including in Halliburton.
Regardless of partisanship, no one seems to want a military base in their backyard. We build them in the middle of nowhere. The civilians move into the area to open shop servicing the military personnel and before too long, a community grows where once there was none. As more civilians move into the area, they begin to complain about the noise and various other sundries associated. Eventually, it becomes an issue of civilian safety and the tax payers are then forced to close one military base after another and build new ones elsewhere so that the process can begin all over again. To get the civilians to quiet down a little and be pacified, the rep.s need to offer up incentives to their constituants. Namely more civilian jobs on military bases... Corruption.
Shall I throw stones? Ted Kennedy drove a car off a bridge and killed his date. That was what? Forty years ago? Still he never served a day of jail time and has been reelcted how many times? And how much money do we as tax payers pay him? Had you or I drove a car off a bridge killing our date, we'd have been tossed in jail. No questions asked. Corruption. But who is to blame? We've allowed all of this to happen. Go home at the end of a long day and turn on the TV and forget about life for a while.

The most pervasively corrupt government the US has ever had.8 billion in Iraq oil revenues gleaned during the days of the civilian authority headed by Bremer, are totally missing.

If you're referring to the government of the United States of America, of course it is corrupt. It has been corrupt since The Gilded Age, as coined by Mark Twain.

The government is a reflection of the people. Are people corrupt? If hate to admit that life has made me cynical. But I believe a great many of them are.

each usa at the instant in this international, I do think of. Why? because of the fact greed is outta hand because of the fact we are able to take a seat right here and waste time answering quite often rubbish and not finding to discover somebody who we could help do some thing they choose performed. yet i think if all of us started helping one yet another governments might discover some way of taxing help.

Depends on your definition of corruption.
There will never be an entirely uncorrupted government.
I assume your question refers to the US govt. and in that case I'm sure the corruption is more than desirable but less than disastrous.

All governments are corrupt to some degree and in some way. But it varies from none to little to most to whole.
