Do you know the custom of Baksheesh?

Baksheesh comes from the Persian word بخشش (bakhshesh), which originated from the Middle Persian language.[2]

The word had also moved to other cultures and countries. In the Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Indian, Macedonian, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Turkish languages, bakshish or бакшиш means "tip" in the conventional western sense. In Greek, μπαξίσι baksisi) can mean a gift in general. In German and French, Bakschisch is a small bribe (in Romanian as well, depending on the context; usually employed as a euphemism to șpagă, which means outright bribe). In Maltese the word (buqxiex) refers to a very small payment.

When SCOTUS decided Citizen's United that was the death knell. Worst decision ever, though maybe it's tied with their eminent domain Kelo vs New London decision.

I don't suspect that any country has so many laws that protect outright political bribery as the USA does.

Indeed, it allowed corporations and unions free rein to buy politicians with unlimited PAC donations.
