The founding fathers did try to build a Republic with check and balance, strong principles and the rule of law. To their credit, it did last a few decades. Then everything went wrong. Not in one big swoop but step by step, one battle at a time until finally in the late 1980s the war was lost. Finance, pharmaceuticals, education, health, the military... you name it. It is corrupt. But legally corrupt. If you belong, you get rich. If you don't, well, hard luck. How long can this parlor state last? The Romans did manage to last a few centuries but these were slower times!
