> I don't understand why the US allows it, and it screams of corruption/bribery/etc.

Seems to me like you understand it completely. The US is, like most countries, mired in a bit of corruption/bribery/etc. I am of the opinion this is simply part of the human condition, and is virtually impossible to eliminate.

Diseases aren't cured by people who think they're incurable.

And your opinion effectively defends the status quo, which, if it needed defending, it wouldn't be the status quo.

It didn't used to be this bad in the US, and there are many countries where it isn't like this. Corruption needs to be fought against, not apologized for.

I'm not sure when you think corruption began in the US, but I'm certain you're naive and wrong.
