Drug manufactures giving free meds to docs to use for give aways while at the same time expecting them to buy inventory and prescribe the drug they are pushing at the office. I see this all the time. Oh and they bring the office lunch 2 times a month. (about 45 people).

Or equipment manufactures sending people to conferences when they buy their stuff, and these are golfing conferences or in really expensive resort areas.

I thought we were talking about government. I think private enterprise is different. Not necessarily right, but it's not illegal.

Until just recently, Germany allowed German firms to take bribes they paid in foreign countries as a tax deduction... even bribes paid in Europe.
