"This is difficult because many underdeveloped nations have corrupt governments that can easily be bought by corporations."

Are you implying that the "Western or 'overdeveloped' governments" are not corrupt? Or that their leaders have not been bought by corporations, and bankers? Perhaps a little research is in order. You don't have to believe the propaganda just because it's in the media. (You know the ones that are owned by corporations and bankers. Would it really be advantageous of them to tattle on their owners?)

(Edit)
I just realized this sort of comes off as harsh. That was not my intention. I don't have any ill will towards you, and I didn't mean to come from a position of superiority. Rather, I just meant this as food for thought. I hope that you are not offended by my "tone." Text is a rather difficult medium to discuss sensitive subjects. With the lack of voice inflection and body language to soften hard points.

Also I agree that people or "consumers" as they like to call us, have the obligation to vote with our wallets. I just wish that the govs would allow us to do the same with them when they are stepping into "tyrannical" territory.

Hi @imjustsaying, and thanks for clarifying. Of course I know corruption reaches all levels of development. I only focused on underdeveloped ones because that is the focus of this piece. Hope that helps to clear that up.
