EPLAY: So the problem in Russia is that level (2) started buying level (1) ...and almost got away with it... ELMAT: It always happen when the old regime dies out –the one that looted Czar Nicoalu- fell down because it was rotten. It always like this, when the regime falls, everyone tries to get to be Level 1. EPLAY: And corrupt countries are where the people at level (1) either don't have enough money and/or are not content with having power, and keep sticking their hands in the pocket of the business people and others at (2) so they start to leave... ELMAT: Corrupt countries, there is money to satisfy ONLY level 1. Level 2 has power to extract money from level 3 and sometimes even from level 1. You can’t imagine how ‘zealous’ they are about rules!! They love to create a gate, padlock it and them rent the keys!!!

That's New Zealand: <And corrupt countries are where the people at level (1) either don't have enough money and/or are not content with having power, and keep sticking their hands in the pocket of the business people and others at (2) so they start to leave... > Foolishly, the greedies at Level 1 in New Zealand don't even see themselves as corrupt. So they think they are doing a good thing by cleaning out Level 2 and giving it to themselves and their supporters in Level 3. They truly do. They think of themselves as noble do-gooders as the welfare beneficiaries rip themselves and each other to bits, and anyone else they get their hands on. It's carnage out there now. But there is a Level 4 baby boom because that's the easiest way to get more money from the government who takes it from Level 2. Level 4 is the level below level 3 which at least produces self-sustaining value through actual work. Level 4 is the bludger world living on handouts. Unfortunately for those in Level 1, Level 3 and especially Level 4, those in Level 2 keep the show on the road. Without them, Level 1 has no loot to play with and those at Level 3 get to scrabble for the dollar of the occasional tourist who curiously passes by. Or, simply rob them. Which of course then stops further tourists coming by. Mqurice
