Corruption isn't not helping every single person to the top. Corruption is the denial of anybody from a certain class from obtaining a higher position or even a better lifestyle. Corruption is stagnation, degredation, and forceful rule on the common man. It is to impose and regulate all things of the common persons life, while leaving multiple facets or loopholes in which the rich or the rulers can prosper the face of the corruption.

As for ability, no society exists in the present that merits upon ability. It is either birth, or money. While a person with exceptional ability can appear to gain from it, it is bought by those of birth or money, not earned. Basically the common person is screwed.
