We do indeed have a bribery problem in the U.S. But I feel confident in saying that in Mexico it is systemic, and simply expected. Unlike in the U.S., in Mexico the citizenry has no reasonable expectation of public corruption being pursued and eliminated. Here Americans react with outrage at public corruption; in MExico I think it is considered par for the course.
This is exactly true. People who don't think this is a problem are fooling themselves. The US isn't perfect, and we have our problems, however, how many of us would prefer to live in....say....Mexico? And for those who answer in the affirmative my question is, what's stopping you?
