Absolutely.

Can't those two effects work together and at the same time? I would say 
everybody is corruptible, depends on the particular flavour of corruption. 
Some are corrupted by money, some by power, some by "I am doing the lord's 
work, so I will disregard everybody else", some by sex drugs and alcohol.

And every person in power will get more chances to get their "hit", whatever 
that might be, than a person without that power.
