I read an interesting article on Russian corruption today over at the BBC.co.uk site. I have to say, when I first glanced at the headline I thought to myself that corruption in Russia isn’t news, it is a way of life. Then I saw the numbers and I nearly fell off my chair! Get this, Corrupt Russian officials are skimming almost $120bn a year or A THIRD of the national budget!
WTF Is Going On Over There?
That is some serious scamming boys and girls. Gazprom is holding Europe hostage with it’s friggin’ natural gas scam, Putin finds a way to stay in power without changing the constitution, and office space is going for $2500 per sq. meter in downtown Moscow. This place is like the wild west, except they drive Range Rovers instead of horses.$120bn is a staggering number, it’s $857 per man, woman, and child in a country where the average worker makes $2600 a year! Just one question…HOW THE EFF DO YOU GUYS LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?
You are screwing your own people with their pants on. They counted on you for this little thing called Democracy, and you ef’d em’. Way to go…keep up the good work. Time for another revolution.
