I don’t like the long term effects of condoning corruption.
That just makes politicians rent seek even more - and might incite jealousy in any politicians who missed out on that bribe. They’ll be back next election getting bribed by a bigger billionaire.
I’d think better to try to reduce corruption.
The best way a billionaire could spend their money is to lobby politicians to tax the rich.
