A GOVERNMENT FREE OF CORRUPTION/ A Government With No Corruption- Continue

 1. POWER

THE PROBLEM: Human governments are funded by their citizens, most often through taxes and duties. This flow of money tempts some officials to steal while others accept bribes from individuals who want them to reduce their taxes or other payments due the government. A vicious circle may result-the government raises taxes to make up for such losses, and this in turn fosters more corruption. In an environment like that, people who are honest may suffer the most.

THE SOLUTION: God's Kingdom receives its power from the almighty God, Jehovah. (Revelation 11:15) It does not need to collect taxes to pay for its operation. Instead, God's "awe-inspiring power" and his unselfish generosity ensure that the Kingdom will abundantly provide for the needs of all its subjects. - ISAIAH 40:26; PSALM 145:16.
