While I see your point and empathize with it in several contexts, I think "Incentive is the only human motivation" is a bit overstated. And "incentive" is a rather ill-defined word. Humans are motivated for a number of reasons, and all could perhaps be referred to as incentives, but then all you're really saying is that all humans do everything for a reason. No shit. :)
You are speaking of a specific motivation for a certain group of people (if one can honestly use that term in reference to bureaucrats), a topic with which I agree with you.
