My wife bristles when I say this is one of, if not the, most corrupt countries on earth. We just make it look legal and genteel not crass and ugly like in so many of the other 32 countries I have worked in.
Our politicians get all indignant about corruption to hide their own.
The problem is the money in DC...before 1950 they had little money.then we got all these departments that regulate are lives and we do not know it..
