Nader From The Mid East

[Corrupting roundup update]  In Iraq to keep business going I have to pay every year.  I’m not talking about taxes.  I’m not talking about permits.  I’m talking…you need to get a tax number you have to pay millions of dinars to get it.  It doesn’t go to the government, it goes to that person who has your papers…otherwise they will not sign them…You will never get your licenses or your tax number or anything like that and you would never start your business. That’s what we’ve been finding out about it…A lot of people saying corruption is everywhere…but you have to have the balls to come out and say it…
