Yes. BUT there has never been such a thing as a government that is not corrupt. If you go back in time to the Sumerians, Egyptians, Athenians, Romans, etc. you will find that corruption was rampant.
Nietzche once said, "power likes to walk on crooked legs." It is too idealistic to think that you can concentrate power without having some people taking advantage of it.

Of course. It's not particularly more corrupt than any other, and less corrupt than many, but it's still a government. If you could create a corruption-free government, it could create a utopia.

You know, when the Clintons were in the White House...YES absolutely...the Government was extremely corrupted. And, I didn't even vote for Clinton, I voted for George H.W. Bush. Now, I am confident to say, "NO" to your question.

Absolutely. Though it is not as corrupt as many others, politicians are influenced by their donors AND most of all, by the division within parties.
