Welcome to America! In a kleptocracy, most government revenues wind up in the hands of officials, and are not applied to public works projects, welfare, and other activities. Government agencies are often dysfunctional as a result of limited funding and being headed by people who lack qualifications. Socio-economic and high-tech global slavery. The pejorative term “kleptocracy” is applied to a government tainted by widespread greed and corruption and headed by a person who has used the government for personal enrichment and gain. While the suffix “-ocracy” often implies a form of government, kleptocracies are not forms of government, but rather governments so fundamentally corrupt that they are difficult, if not impossible, to salvage. Bribery is commonly necessary to accomplish tasks ranging from getting a building permit to opening a new business. The more money people have, the higher they can rise in the kleptocracy, by greasing the way with high ranking officials, and this in turn generates more money for them as they accept bribes and gifts from people fighting for a position in the government. It is not uncommon to see the justice system break down as people simply refuse to attend their own trials or bribe their way out of legal penalties.
