And what objective measures do you have for nations like China, Russia, Iran, and plenty of despotic dictatorships in Africa? There isn’t some magic measure that goes filters through all the lies perpetuated by those countries. There is definitely some degree of corruption in the US but there isn’t really evidence for the strength of your assertions. I suspect China is probably a lot worse because of the opacity/concentration of power of the communist party. I’d also be interested to hear what felonies perpetuated 2008. The government incentivized individuals to buy homes, and the banks looked the other way as long as people signed their mortgage agreements. A lot of the laws that would’ve prevented this were repealed in the 90’s.
