    I don’t think the founding fathers could have EVER anticipated the amount of corruption that could occur.

    “I believe farther that this is likely to be well administred for a Course of Years and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”

    Benjamin Franklin.
