NOURNEWS - The last debate between Donald Trump and Jobiden, two US 2020 candidates, was full of revelations accusing the parties of corruption and inefficiency.
What was evident on both sides was the portrayal of a savior and a corrupt rival, to the extent that, according to many foreign media, this volume of exposure about systemic corruption has never been seen in American history.
The corruption acknowledged by US candidates is not limited to a specific period or years, and has been manifested for years in various dimensions by both mainstream powers in the United States, although each time in the election debate. The title is used as an opportunity to destroy the rival and attract votes, but it has much wider instances and dimensions than what is said and heard in the media.
One of the biggest examples of corruption in the United States was unveiled in December 2008, when the great American financier Bernard Midoff was arrested on charges of corruption and financial fraud.
Midoff, a stockbroker and investment consultant, used the Ponzi scheme to defraud $ 65 billion over 15 years. An unprecedented and astonishing figure who made him the world's biggest financial fraudster and earned him the nickname Frankenstein of World Finance.
The scale of the corruption was so great that many analysts still cite Bernard Midoff as one of the main culprits in the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 in the United States, which caused a deep recession in the US economy and many American companies plunged into the abyss of bankruptcy.
Corruption in the United States, however, is not limited to Midoff, and he is the only example of the corrupt structure of the American economy. Allen Stanford is another example. He was the chairman of the famous and great Stanford company, and for 20 years he made a lot of money through fraud and embezzlement.
Stanford was sentenced to 110 years in prison in 2012 for embezzling an incredible $ 7 billion and is currently serving a prison sentence.
Drill McCully, Robert Vesco, and dozens of others are incredible examples of people who have corrupted the American economy and amassed great wealth through embezzlement and fraud, the corruption of which is undoubtedly at the heart of the structure. It is corrupt and has many flaws in the financial and economic structure of the United States, and according to international statistics, it has become the second country in the world in terms of financial secrecy.
The combination of this massive corruption imposes heavy costs and losses on the US economy each year, with nearly $ 300 billion in money laundering occurring in the US economy each year.
Embezzlement and money laundering in America But; It is not limited to private companies, and the US government and its administrations also face a lot of corruption. According to a HISCOX poll, 4 out of 10 American employees say they have seen and experienced at least two or more embezzlements and thefts during their careers, which are estimated at $ 50 billion a year, and the financial health of offices. And have overshadowed American companies.
Of course, what is clear is that; In most cases, these thefts can not be blamed on ordinary employees, as statistics show that in 85% of cases, corruption and embezzlement were committed by people at management levels or higher, a long list that includes many Judges, state officials and federal officials are also present.
For example, Louis Portiana, a federal judge in Louisiana, was fired in 2010 for bribery, or William Jefferson, a member of the House of Representatives in 2009, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for accepting 11 bribes.
Another example is Republican Duke Cunningham, who was convicted in 2005 of accepting $ 2.4 million in bribes and tax evasion. These numerous cases have led to more and more widespread corruption in the political and administrative structure of the United States, leading to distrust of the American people.
According to the latest statistics, 87% of Americans believe that corruption in the federal government is widespread. In addition, the American people do not have a positive view of the fight against corruption by the US government, and nearly 70% of them believe that the US government has failed in the fight against corruption.
according to this; It can be concluded that in addition to the numerous socio-economic crises and inefficient management of the Corona crisis, the crisis of widespread corruption in the private and public sectors also poses a major challenge for the US Governing Body to minimize social capital and the process. It has accelerated America's decline.
