What do you mean by 'corruption'? Because U.S. is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, they just call it 'lobbying'.
Or how you can't bribe US pigs with cash because pigs already get paid 6 figures on top of free healthcare and a pension. And corruption on the individual pig level is mostly them helping themselves to the loot from civil forfeiture and selling drugs that they confiscate from non-pig drug dealers they busted.
even basic stuff like getting a job in the public sector, you gotta bribe/know the right person to get it. Anything that involves bureaucratic oversight is ripe for bribery. Want to get a passport? Get ready to bribe the policeman who does the "police background check". Want to get a promotion? Bribe this guy. Want to get alimony from your husband? Bribe this much to the judge. Want to get out of paying alimony? bribe this much to the judge to get the case thrown out or fully delayed.
My grandfather who was a public school teacher had to fight a court case for 10 years to get a promotion he rightly deserved, which he coulda gotten immediately if he had bribed his superiors.
corruption in the west is just masked with lobbying, fees and tax cuts
