Also, there are countless psychology experiments demonstrating the corrupting influence of power

Bullshit there are, cite your sources or shut up

There are plenty of published articles dealing with specific experiments, but I'm going to hold you to the same standard you expect of me. Go do your own research, it is really not that hard. You'll discover that Powerful groups trend towards corruption (in the long term), and if you dig into the smaller scale social experiments that have been repeated around the world, you'll discover why. It is very interesting stuff, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
