Extreme Corruption permeates the system everywhere there is any government meddling on every topic. Thomas Sowell sums it up well as does the cartoon for this years election in the USA, but don't be deceived this massive corruption happens in every level of government in every country when money is stolen from the public under the color of law via taxes based on legal force with the threat of obey or else and redistributed to the pet projects with many slipper hands getting a massive taste before any actual gets done.
If it is not voluntary without any threats it is crimes by committing the offense, this example it is the treat of taxation by theft or else.
Yes, moving to a more Minimal System (e.g. one such system is Minarchy) or even to a full Voluntaryist System will certainly be a major change to move the human race forward from these barbarian Ruling Elite Fascists, Globalists, Communist, or other excessive Totalitarian systems that rely upon the threat of violence to force society to work the way the Ruling Elites by Force want!
There is a better way, self manage and lead your self to success without being forced and without using force! Use the Free Market to bypass any and all Violating of the Non-Aggression System. Do success Voluntarily.

A good question. I do not have a good answer. Nor it seems that @RobertBarnes or @VivaFrei have one. They have some partial solutions if you listen and pay attention to what they say.
Resist at ever opportunity that you are willing to pay the price for if the powers that be notice your resistance is good advice regardless of how much you resist.
