Power corrupts

It's everywhere and it is pretty much true. Power corrupts.
In India corruption is probably there at every conceivable level right from the lowest to the highest.
In USA it is there but in huge forms. Corruption here is not overt but more covert. It is an art which is not obvious but has a finesse to it.. and is in bigger form than imaginable. Let's try and explain this better. A huge drug company might pay a senator millions of dollars to pass a law which in turn will benefit the drug company billions. Yes ,that is the magnitude of corruption which exists but it is done so skillfully that it is difficult to notice . It is pretty much as Dr Andrew Dale says" Corruption is everywhere. Power corrupts".
It definitely does.
Money and power can make a lot of people do a lot of things, and can change a lot of principles.
