“You bet the government is corrupt. So is the US government. The latter just hides it better.”

tigerdog, I think you pretty well said it. In the US we are more sophisticated and profit legally. But in the end, it’s all about profiting and becoming rich.

Rich country vs. poor country is like family vs. a poor family. A rich family eats at the table with luxurious china and silverware. They have impeccable manners and seem beyond reproach. A poor family eats at the kitchen counter out of the pots. The poor family’s habits look really bad and unsophisticated.
