Well, the vast majority of Americans agree with what you say, so I am in the very small minority on this one.
Personally, I consider them dead wrong.
This is the direct result of capitalism, as in the golden rule
"He who has the gold, makes the rules."
Political corruption cannot be weeded out from a system that is based upon profit, in a system where some are winners and the rest are losers, there will ALWAYS be political corruption. the winners will always pull the strings, and the govt will be shaped to fit the winners needs and wants.
