Absolute power corrupts absolutely... Power needs limits, checks and balances. Giving anyone absolute power and/or authority is foolhardy, because nobody in this world is immune to the effects of so great a responsibility. Power corrupts even the best of people when it is given in large enough doses.. Everyone has contemplated righting wrongs and doing good if they were in positions of power, but the problem is each person has a different concept of what that is..

well i think the better question would be whats the relation between people and corruption, in that case i would answer power. power in the form of money, greed, general control, so many. power and corruption usually go hand in hand. more often than not people attain power through corruption.

Perhaps people go for the corruption first, and end up with the power?

Power corrupts. If one uses it, extreme amounts of self discipline along with integrity have to be used as well. Most that do use it, don't understand these 2 concepts very well.(if at all). Most want it for "control" and/or greed. Or at least that's what it leads to in most situations.

a stable heavily Conservative President and robust heavily Conservative Congress. you in basic terms won't be able to ignore approximately how chuffed and proud to be American we've been while Reagan replaced into in workplace. of direction he, too, replaced into vilified via the clicking and the Democrat workplace holders. As super because it replaced into, he on no account had the help of a Republican Congress so his skill to make a favorable impact replaced into constrained. besides the reality that, it replaced right into an excellent time and an excellent era. no you may draw such record placing numbers as that except he had the help of human beings from the two events and the self reliant voters alike. He did it via going over the heads of the media and speaking directly to the yank human beings. He replaced into the final somewhat super President. yet another somewhat super Conservative President is what it would take. The final somewhat Liberal President replaced into Carter. u.s. tossed him out on his ear after 4 years of abject distress. the subsequent Presidents have been all Moderates, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II. the end result's often an identical, devoid of nicely defined Conservative time table we finally end up with a rustic divided and in disarray. *

Corruption is using power for your own means
Power is the responsiblity to make great or evil things happen
