As long as we have automatic rulers (countries with automatically powerful government) corruption will be there. Basically corruption is profitable so that is why it happens. If we had democracy, it will go down significantly, because is is not profitable to corrupt the majority. You have to offer them more than the damage you will do to them with your actions, which is unprofitable, and maybe not corruption at that point since you made a deal with the “to be harmed” people, not their ruling minority.
