I think the point about America ignoring corruption is the most crucial aspect of corruption; the enablers, essentially laws, policy makers or systems that have unintented flaws (loopholes) or intended ones (legal bribery) is a huge part of why corruption succeed or even thrives. On another note its also important to point out that culture also plays a role, certain well off cultures you have corruption in the form of lavish events or gifts or some cases where it's in the gray area (like say you rub my back I rub yours).
