Reply #12: Well unfortunately your not very well informed about the rest of the world

Virtually every other country - except for some European (especially scandinavian countries) have more corporate coruption than the US;


Japan is in a class really by itself. Not only is the Executive branch bought and sold but every member of Parliment needs to raise $ 1 million a year for 'gifts'. MPs are expected to send presents for every wedding and flowers for every funeral in their district. No on challenges the real corporate pay back scheme and policy is written out in the corporations and delivered to the government.

China and Russia people in the government have simply robbed the assets of the people.

Thailand, Malaysia, etc all known oligarchies, strictly pay to play, just a question of how greedy they get. The Thaksin changed a law that allowed him to sell a company for a profit of $ 2 billion, by these standards US corruption is bush league (no pun, well hell of course it was intended.)


And so on and on.


The country that may be the least corrupt? Singapore might qualify. They pay their PM serious money (over $ 2 million) thereby the only country in the world that has the brains to put their country's chief executive beyond temptation. Although since they don't have any real opposition and don't have a free press, you only have to guess that they are clean, but even amongst the people that don't like the Lee family, rumors of corruption have never existed.
