Do you know how much it costs you to buy politicians in India, China, Africa? Minimum 20 percent. In fact, policitians in these countries demand a stake in your business!! Chinese community party political bureau members own industries in China. Each member in that gang owns a segment: diamonds; real estate; finance; energy; etc. In places like China, India, people don't entertain illusions about mobility. They know how system functions, how people are paid off, how families own industries. In the states, people are sold slogans like "work hard, you can reach the top of the totem pole.

Do this to just a few politicians and the rest will be a lot more careful about ethics.
