Let’s walk through this again;
You posted that 100% of the time,humans see government as an avenue to improve their socioeconomic status. Setting aside that your post is categorically false , not every government in the US is like Chicago’s. Many are, but a lot of states and cities aren’t. I’d wager most areas of the US don’t have massive levels of institutional corruption , and that many principled members of government both state and federal do their jobs to the best of their mandates and ethical obligations. You don’t hear about these people in the news, because “Government Employee Reported and Halted Fraud” isn’t a profitable media headline.
Ergo, the idea that government is too generally corrupt to administer economic opportunity properly is rubbish.
