Why is it bad if the government is corrupt?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Bad, mainly because the governmental officials could accept bribes from people to change things, or take their favor in a case, or even bribe the president to pardon them from prison! Thus making the streets more dangerous with all these bad people around.

Also with the government being corrupt, the president could also appoint corrupted judges, so therefore having court cases be unwell.

Taxes could rise without good reason.

Roads and other things wont get fixed.

Government could hoard money, and the economy can fall.

Hope this helped
