- malandrew 13y agoI'm from Brazil, and I think you and I can both agree that that country has was you consider real corruption. Having lived in the US long enough and seeing how things work here, I'd say it's just as corrupt as Brazil, but that it is a very very different flavor of corruption. Brazilian politicians plunder actively while in office and reap the rewards while in office. Their actions are often downright illegal. The US on the other hand causes the same damage to its citizens, however the politicians don't reap their rewards until they leave office and walk through the revolving door. Regulatory capture and the revolving door are corruption on par with what happens in Brazil. The difference is that American politicians do exceedingly well at the marshmallow test getting two marshmallows later whereas Brazilian politicians are happy stealing one marshmallow now.
