OK, so you may even say that you're corrupt as all hell but I'm telling you that the vast majority of humankind (including union leaders, politicians, and CEO's and even used-car salesmen and lawyers) are very good people who know right from wrong and are honestly trying to do good.
--and fwiw, my personal guess is that even you are in fact not that bad a guy either.
People at the head of large hierarchies do tend to be sociopathic. Take unions for example. The rank and file actually tend to be conservative, while the leaders tend to be sellouts to their fellow sociopaths in Big Government pretending to be liberal.
