His example was fine and doesn’t stand alone. Who’s to say that other countries don’t consider US lobbying to be a form of bribery?
Realistically, no country is going to see their own bribery as actual bribery because no one wants to have to blatantly admit they’re the bad guy.
- striking 5y agoThere are laws around transparency in lobbying in the US. It would be bribery if you didn't abide by those laws when conducting your lobbying activities.
- mc32 5y agoNot Poster, but I agree to a degree. It’s defined as such but in practice it can have the effects of bribery. If so, is it then legal bribery? Politicians set up foundations and then people or organizations coincidentally benefiting from some legislation donate or underwrite these foundations…
- Melatonic 5y agoIt is also super easy to get around those transparencies - the lobbying system in the US is for sure a big big problem Bribery with extra steps!
