      I don’t think it’s anything near Russia.

      Well, you can argue that oligarchs in power are not corrup because they just have conflict of interests, but this is not huge difference

        I think the gap between our level of corruption and Russian political corruption is getting smaller every year.

      Yeah I don’t want a gate keep. We can all have crap governments.

      Although in the US it’s not corruption it’s just lobbying.
