A few "corrupt" statistics...
====
81% of Americans think the federal government is corrupt the other 19% probably work for the federal government
...
Congress scored the absolute worst with 90% of Americans saying they are corrupt while just 2% of Americans think Congress are clean
For perspective 29% of Americans believe in Bigfoot,16% think the earth is flat, 7% think chocolate comes from brown cows, and 2% think Congress is clean

Also, its still possible to work for the Feds while thinking (knowing) it's a corrupt system.
True...I've had to come to that conclusion when friends/families work for the government, pharma, defense contractors, etc. They are high integrity people trying to make a difference.
For me, it is tough to reconcile, but I have the luxury of getting out early...albeit need to live a pretty frugal life (while still doing something I love...teaching/coaching). And I sleep easy knowing I'm not conflicted.
