Paskhaver's Compromise

An interesting discussion by Oleksandr Paskhaver

"I am trying to create a new initiative. I want to appeal to the new authority and explain that I understand their interests, and, therefore, I would like to propose a compromise. We will not see any new foreign investors of any signifi cance unless we eliminate the rampant and total corruption in our country. On the other hand, I understand that you won’t lift a fi nger against your own interests. The compromise I suggest is to leave corruption at the very top level as is, but to eliminate corruption on the middle and lower levels of government. With all of the energy in your new authority, let’s work together to eliminate corruption on the lower levels."I am trying to create a new initiative.
