Corruption (from an insider)

[Sharon121212]

What is corruption?
Corruption can be easily be regarded as an untruthful and fraudulent, dishonest action by people, company or government.

For so long the menace of corruption has eaten deep into government especially those in the under developed countries leaving the poor masses in penury.

Corruption on the part of government can range from
* misuse of national funds
* fraudulently converting national find and asset to personal property
* rigging election
* tempering with governmental records  and so many more

 Corruption can lead to the downfall of any economy the acts of very greedy politicians all in search of the personal gains ignoring the cries and yarn of there subordinates with issues (like unemployment, low power supply, inflation, poor health care, poor educational institution and  a general low standard of living) being a constant experience in developing and under developed countries

Globally citizens in more advanced countries might be able to read or watch on the news issues of corruption in the not so advanced country and feel they know what's going on well let me state it that it far from there understanding even most news agency are corrupt and and are poppets in the hands of this corrupts leaders and only put out what they want them to put out.

Corrupt leaders get away with practically any corrupt practice without being sanctioned for it while preying on the rights of the masses.  As a citizen with low income you are not regarded and are striped off the right as a human.

The economy of a corrupt country is dilapidated but it's of no concern to the politicians because most relocate there families to more advanced economy and they don't really fill the menace they are causing on the nation rather they do more inhuman act by taking the funds of the country and investing it in advanced countries. The wealth of this gluttons can be over emphasized Forbes magazine don't put politicians in the list of wealthiest man if they where and all the hidden asset where calculated it would surprise you to know that politicians in developing countries like West Africa would out weigh politicians in developed countries.

This issue has become a global issue and needs to be tackled by global agencies like United Nations and other good will countries.
 There are alot happening that the rest of the world don't realise

Politicians want power without working for it.

They gain this power through being con-sales-men that know how to say what people want to hear, and then earn millions by taking bribes. Why do you think Trump hates Bezos so much? Bezos is actually a wildly successful business man on paper (not just in people's minds), whereas politicians are usually failed business men because they don't know how to create real value, only print it out of nowhere or by letting people and businesses continue illegal activities for extra cash.

Politicians are the new mafia in developed and undeveloped countries alike. This is why decentralization carries so many benefits for those living under these almost universally corrupt regimes.
