Cleaner Statement of Public Choice Theorem

 All public officials are corrupt.

 It is impossible not to have a corrupt public official.

 Singapore's CPIB (and acid rain?) shows this can't be strictly true, but CPIB is an anomaly. Aside from CPIB, every public official is corrupt. PCT suggests CPIB must be getting more corrupt over time, and this seems plausible. We'll see, I suppose. 

 

 Normal bureaucracy works on the assumption that mortals are selfless angels. Mortals are mortals, so it doesn't work. Omnicorruption can be the only possible result, because bribes aren't true corruption - the corruption was the founding principles of the "service."

 You have to secure your shit. If you want a "public" servant to work for your benefit, you must be privately paying him for that service. No pay, no play. PCT and omnicorruption are guaranteed by the laws of property, security, and trade. 

 Of course the assumption that bureaucrats are selfless angels is deliberately used due to breaking in a predictable way. It's implemented precisely to achieve that breakage while retaining """plausible""" deniability.
