    No. Corruption knows no limits of money whether they be poor or rich.

    No. Apart from being a sweeping generalisation that calls anyone of any means, "corrupt", there are other countries with far worse endemic corruption, than the USA.

    The quotation does not say that Durdle. It does not say that ALL WEALTHY PEOPLE are corrupt. Why do you think you read something into that quotation that isn't there? Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday to thy

    Sorry - I mis-read it.

    Certainly the desire for wealth and prestige can corrupt, but in many places corruption is endemic among minor government officials, police officers etc. because they are poorly-paid and if their seniors are out to make an illicit buck, they cannot be blamed for being corrupt too. The wrong-doing in this situation is usually bribery.
