When you call bribe a bribe it is visible and measureable. When you disguise the bribe, then the bribe is there but the Elroy's of this world don't see it.

Once in the 80's my friend -a wealthy meat distributor driving a BMW series 7- was driving at some 170Kmh in Austria. Police stopped him. I said: "get ready to be fined."

He said: "we will see." He showed the car papers, and driver's license. "Herr so and so, you must be careful, I will let you out this time, next will be fined. Have a nice trip."

He threw the driver's license on my lap. And told me to look. There was an array of plastic cards and a special card.
He was a contributor to some policemen association.

The card said -he explained- he was not only a contributor, but a long time contributor and a heavy contributor. That means once you are rich and you know the means and ways you can bribe legally.

Of course in the stratum where Elroy lives he doesn’t know those things and he believes in the rule of the law.
