Then shouldn't that be the problem everybody is working on? Forget about construction projects and car dealerships, would there be a huge objection into research funding for how to most effectively combat political corruption? Or a voting system change like range voting? [1]

Should it? Like everything else, there are:

* Information Asymmetries: I don't know anything about you or any other org working to combat this so I'm not comfortable spending money on you.

* Coordination Problems: Where do we act, on what scale, etc.

* Value Assignation Problems: How do I benefit from this for the effort I need to put in?

* Risk Problems: What is the chance of success solving a problem of this scale?

Essentially, I'm only seeking to explain. Personally, I have no problem with the system existing as it does. I would prefer other systems out of an inner desire for elegance. But I'm pretty proficient in acting within these to my own benefit so I won't tear it down. Perhaps part of the problem is getting folks like me to care to change this. I'm happy to cheer you on, though. Good luck!
