So what can you do to avoid this, really? Not much. Maybe put in a checks and balances system for the people in charge instead of the branches? But everyone's a little corrupt...

That is completely true. There are lots of politicans who started out as someone we thought we could trust and then become greedy power hungry bosses and to be honest, there is no way to prevent it at all. It ultimately comes down to the individual and the choices they make--are they willing to risk everything at the chance to make themselves to gain something of importance to them?
