That's why I always want to crowdsource corruption. Everybody who wants something gives 3 Euro/Dollar/Whatever and we just carry those cash suitcases to the morons in charge. What big companies can do, we can do!
I haven't looked into it but isn't the problem that bribing and corruption, as we general think of it, is not common anymore. They've gotten creative.
They don't hand you cash. they form super PACs that are legislative black holes so "people that align with you politically" can use that money to help you run, or your family member is hired as a VP in a company where they do nothing but get millions in stock options. They can also you can also get paid for talks, meetings, lectures in exotic locations. Hell, Clarence the supreme court judge gets stuff all the time from his billionaire friend. here's John Oliver.
Well, I just give them a contract for a speech of two minutes, worth 3 million, I guess. Even those politicians will see the appeal in just receiving plain ol' money instead of jumping through all those hoops.
