Another perspective, the Zero Rupee note:<p><a href="http://boingboing.net/2010/02/05/zero-rupee-note-that.html" rel="nofollow">http://boingboing.net/2010/02/05/zero-rupee-note-that.html</a><p><a href="http://blogs.worldbank.org/publicsphere/paying-zero-public-services" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.worldbank.org/publicsphere/paying-zero-public-s...</a><p>tldr: just calling out a bribe-taker in the right way can change their behavior.

"This may be more rational than it seems. In some cases, bribes may make economies work better, says Rema Hanna, a Harvard economist."<p>I'm sorry, what? Bribes are a symptom of broken government where government workers have a lot of authority to <i>do</i> things, but no incentive to do the <i>right</i> thing.

One brilliant comment from the article - that he loves bribes now that he is established, and the pay-wall locks out upstart competitors.

People like him make it tougher for the common man to survive, because we all have to pay bribes or nothing is done. Poor, or old or retired people are forced to pay bribes for basic amenities. We have to pay a bribe to get our income tax +++return+++. My old mother (78) was hospitalized and had to pay a bribe to get her insurance money. The list is endless.<p>For the last month, we've been out of +water+. This is because all the neighboring houses have an illegal connection which pulls the water from the main line. Of course, they've paid a bribe for it.<p>Its not funny, and its not fun. And it does not make the economy go smoother, _except_ for the rich.

I was shocked when I first learned that German companies, as late as 10 years ago or so, could deduct from taxes the foreign bribes they paid.

If you wanted to do business hire a local politician who'll do the leg work for you.

Ironic last line:<p><pre><code> "Now he spends most of his time drawing", </code></pre> because an earlier line was:<p><pre><code> "He hated it it ... he wanted to be an artist. Paying bribes went against his principles, he says".</code></pre>
