I feel like your point is almost excusing it. Just because the corruption is working doesn’t mean it’s not corruption.
The letter of the law being what it is due to corruption.
It's not an excuse. The system isnt broken and needs to be reformed. The system is working as intended and needs to be abolished.
The wealthy actively lobby for tax breaks and relaxed regulation meanwhile the working majority don't seem to be able to stand together and demand social programs or protections from big businesses. The government is not corrupt for delivering the change that is asked if it. Easier said than done but change for the better is possible.
When things are so bad that corruption is legalized and encouraged, it doesn't stop being corruption.
