It would hard to imagine a society without corruption. But as an Indian, with my experience staying in California for a few years the overall corruption is just no way comparable to the Asian third world countries like India. If US were to be as corrupt as India, imagine the DMV employees asking for a $500 bribe just for a State Id Card. Or asking for bribes for as little as a $50 bribe to even issue a form at the Social Security Office. That's like just the beginning of it.
