    I have to constantly remind the white supremacists in my country (South Africa) that the only reason the US isn’t ranked higher than South Africa in those silly “corruption indexes” rich people’s media loves so much is because the stuff that gets called corruption over here is perfectly legal in the US.

    In South Africa, pigs stealing your stuff is thoroughly illegal - not that this stops SA pigs, of course - while it’s been perfectly legalized in the US.

    And it can’t be corrupt if it’s perfectly legal, right?

      Well that is how they made bribery legal as long as you use PACs.
