Are you saying that all judges, politicians and bureaucrats are corrupt?
Please elucidate. We may agree.

I disagree. The dichotomy you call false is part of the common, everyday
lexicon of politics.

Are you suggesting the "real" problem is money in politics? If so, do you
have a solution? If so, I hope it's not another tax.
