It isn't my job to point out a government without corruption. Should we not be offended by waste and excess in our own system just because it has always been that way? Should we not wish to rise above?
Nope, I'm not incorporated, unless I choose to incorporate as an entity. Oddly enough, a number of wealthier citizens are doing just that because of the enormous tax benefits. Say I am a private investor with $500K in stock holdings. I could incorporate myself (and my wife, or cat, or whatever) as XZY Holding Corp. in Nevada for about $700. Then the 'corporation' could lease me a car (provided that I could demonstrate that the use of that car was essential to the operation of the corporation) and deduct the expense from the amount of profit or income that the corporation has. Same goes for cell phone bills, travel expenses (if investments are researched or even discussed during the trip), internet fees, etc. etc. etc.
There are some incorporated townships that I have driven through, but I am not clear on how, if at all, their incorporation affects the citizens living within their borders. I know that my area is not incorporated.
