Money is the route of the corruption in this country.  Most of our people elected to either house of Congress are in the 2% of the countries richest.  It is not the fact that they are rich that makes for the corruption.  It is money from corporations, lobbying groups, other wealthy contributors that have added a layer of corruption in this country.  They are not as organized as they could be as they are all looking out for themselves, however watch out if they would decide to start coordinating efforts.

It is difficult to measure levels of corruption. There is no scale that I know of such as the Richter Scale for earth quakes. However, I can't recall a more corrupt administration and I have been around for a long time. But, whether there was or wasn't, there is certainly no excuse for what is going on right now. We should send them all home (or to jail) today.

Rove is lying low and still doing his dirty work in the background. There seems to be a bit of a shakeup going on. Probably getting some people that aren't under investigation, yet, in the spotlight. Don't worry there is plenty of corruption in the GOP. As long as the GOP put their own political gain and personal greed in front of the best interests of the American people we'll keep having scandals and investigations.

In very simply, corruption is defined as 'Public office for private gains'. Corruption is a part of Indian Culture. We found that what is lacking is Political will. So far, we have not encouraged and protected whistleblowers. In fact, this is the area, where India is ranked among the best in the world, but for wrong reasons. Still we retained the title of the most corrupt. India is among 55 of the 106 countries where corruption is rampant. According to the corruption perception Index 2004, India shares this ranking with Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal, Tanzania and Russia. The most corrupt country is Bangladesh and Haiti. Once again, Finland has been judged the cleanest Country. Corruption prevalent in Government agencies are at the highest level. Bribery in Government procurement related contracts and other activities cost Indian taxpayers a whopping $7000 million. Very often, it says corruption increases economic efficiency. It is actually a moral and ethical issue that has direct bearing on good governance. Corruption is anti-poor, anti-development and anti-nation. \n\nThe solution is empowerment of people to manage the resources. Simple, Moral, Accountable, Responsible and Transparent (SMART) governance is to be made mandatory at every level of development. Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization are expected to raise competition and reduce Corruption. Empirical evidence shows that countries, which are corruption-free, have made rapid progress and have virtually eliminated hunger, poverty and unemployment. This humble book presents overview, operation, functioning, preventive and curative methods of inside enemy.

Your question got me thinking, but it's impossible to answer. To be safe (even though I'm not a Fundamentalist Christian) I'll say Eve who, along with her partner-in-crime Adam, started the whole notion of "corruption."\n\nI know it's a pretty lame answer, but I can't wait to read some others!

Reduction of corruption in developing countries would be the best thing for the people.  It will increase the trust and decrease the chances of rebellions.

Because we don't see our own corruption - we choose not to see it.  Corrupt people, murderers and other individuals, don't see what they're doing as wrong, they rationalize and justify it in their minds.\n\nCountries do the same.  We stop seeing our own corruption (read the Ugly American and know that it has been going on for many, many years).  And we use the perceived "corruption" of third world countries as justification for whatever greed-driven activities we wish to pursue.

Sure would clean up a lot of corruption if they followed that now wouldn't it?\n\nMan went away from God. That's where all the corruption comes from.\n\nIf we all followed the Bible correctly there would be a lot of harmony in this world.

Nope both parties are equally corrupt and it matters not who is charge.The truth about this will never be fully known although many intelligent people have theorized what happened.
