Answer 4

Corruption?

It depends on the interpretation of that individuals

mind set of corruption?

Some people think nothing of allowing gas price to go up

to serve a few. This is not corruption to them, it's just

business as usual.

Another example is Haliburtion. No arms length investigation put in place there either. Most of the corruption in government

has been done out in the open as in the "Emperor has no clothes on" they don't see corruption here.

Harris in Florida, Jeb the governor.

They felt no corruption, just business as usual.

Lawyer-gate. They were fired. Business as usual.

So it's the level of what whomever is in charge, considers

the degree of corruption?
