New Zealand is perceived to be the least corrupt country in the world. How bout that! USA is ranked 24. Is the USA a fairly corrupt place?

The whole country? No. There are many honest people all over the place. Lots of them. All over. And then there are the ones who run things.

I'm not really him. I just look like him a little.

I don't think this is a political thread, as such. I don't advocate one party over another. I just think they all suck. That's not so much political as anti-political.

My general understanding is that 1% are corrupt. The other 99% live in tent cities......

My bank is corrupt. They keep taking money off me for no reason. Wish they'd stop doing that. Really annoying.
