(Example is based on US politics, but could apply to any equally corrupt government) In this day and age, it’s clear that rampant corruption is abound with mega corporations buying up politicians with relative pennies they found under their couches.

When words and calls to action fail. Why are there no crowdfunded grassroots movements that actively try to play the same bribery game. If anything, to finally shine a light on how broken the system is.

If the dollar has a voice, why not let the people’s dollars speak?

Of course, this is clearly a terrible idea long term for any system to work like this, plus a bit of a race to the bottom.

The question is more along the line of: Has anyone actually tried this? If so, why/why not?

Be civil please.

    Here’s a better use for all that money.

    Start a non-profit organisation that harasses and annoys the hell out of people who take bribes. Stuff like putting laxatives in their coffee, banana peels on their path, water buckets on door, and so on. You get the idea. Also, they should video those pranks and post them online. Name and shame anyone who takes bribes.
