Which a millionaire can still easily afford to bribe him with a third of his monthly salary ($1700) The distribution of wealth in countries like India is such that the millionaire in India is likely just as wealthy as the millionaire in the US (if not more so). Given that fact, it is much easier to give out $100 bribes on a regular basis in India than it is to give out $1700 bribes in the US. My brother-in-law can give out $2.50 bribes a few times a week (he is wealthy by US standards but lives in the Philippines) much easier than I could give Los Angeles cops $500 bribes a few times a week.
