- Whenever some astounding corruption scandal explodes onto the front pages, the public is aghast and policymakers cobble together new reforms that promise to keep such outrages from occurring again.
- As the website's name suggests, transparency is a time-tested antidote.
- Corruption is a fundamental part of humanity.
- But modern progressives, who loudly decry our nation's past and present injustices, seem intent on shifting even more power from individuals to government agents in an ever-expanding orbit of bureaucracy and regulation (e.g., single-payer healthcare and bans on anything that "threatens" the climate).
- By giving government so much power, they increased opportunities for the misuse of power.
- Individuals may be inherently corrupt, but so are the individuals given vast powers over others.
