Help Us Fight Against Corruption!

[suedeslounge]

How about we work on stopping the wholesale looting of the American tax payer by Goldman Sachs and the criminal Federal Reserve system before worrying about other peoples problems.

[ToritoNL]

so, these important guys are not willing to give us THEIR best idea to fight corruption? What a wast of time. All they seem to want is 'reward' the people who send them their ideas. It will be shown on a conference.... All they promise, so far, is TAKING our ideas. I think they should pay videomakers and hire people with good ideas and get to work NOW!

[liveatknp]

Most of these multi-national companies actively encourage corruption in developing countries, by paying bribes and doling out favors to corrupt administrators. The recent financial meltdown also points to their complicity in shady financial deals. So, it seems comical that they are trying to *reduce* corruption.

Actually, a very successful program has worked in Hong Kong with their ICAC.

Implemented about 35 years ago, the ICAC has significantly cleaned up the city such that now HK is seen to be cleaner than countries such as the US and Canada.

Info on the ICAC can easily be gotten on the web

[finecon1]

The only way for me is to pass a law which severely fines the lawbreakers, and apply it strictly to all parties involved in the corruption. Percentage of the bribes finally to be given to those who most actively contributed to its evidence.

[chuckkottke]

True representation can only come when the highest ideal in each human society are lived up to. To correct the abuses of power elsewhere, and the corruption, we must first live up to our principles. Concurrently we must provide aid, especially for the basics so those in poverty can lift themselves up rather than being overburdened with caring for the ill, let alone being ill themselves. And, reverse the disparities between rich and poor on an equitable basis. No more virtual slave labor!

[chuckkottke]

True! Here in the U.S., it takes the form of major campaign contributions and lobbying efforts - Elected officials should work for the common good of their constituents, and that can only happen when their support comes from their constituents, not big donors outside the district, nor from donors who can disproportionately contribute to a campaign. I would propose that campaign contributions be limited to 1 days living wage for all donors, and no outside cash. Let the will of citizens rule.

[midlemann]

what happens is that people in companies or in any other market in the world have become  not progresists anymore. Their money and their TRUST is put into what they think is predictable and "under control". Its like they have enslaved THAT which makes the economy to flow. SO when "THAT" gets independent once more and gets free from all the statements, politics, markets policies, and etc, the result for that is the dawnfall of the whole system, just like the 9/11 event...

how about that?????

[ec100]

Well, the thing I came up with is that it seems most of the problems in the world may be because people simply don't know what the right thing to do is, in various situations.

My opinion is that, if there was some way people can know what to do before they do it, then I think the world or economy would be in a better state and of course each person will be more likely to not do the wrong thing in the first place, which saves themselves and/or others from a lot of problems.

[LegendaryMember]

This subject will certainly be more difficult to cover than the Davos Question, but I bet this will be more successful. I will try to input advice into this.

[LauraPalmer001]

And maybe the fight against corruption could start with over-paid CEOs agreeing to lower their indecent incomes out of respect for the 986 mio people starving, leave alone the hundreds of thousands of people who lost their jobs recently? Idealism? No, just common sense. Do that and maybe we won't be so cynical about your fight against corruption. Or don't do that but then please stop insulting us with your hypocrisy.

[LauraPalmer001]

You'll soon reply to us from Davos? Give us a break guys, this Davos thing has been going on for years yet the world keeps sinking deeper so you must be doing something wrong don't you think?? Maybe you should invite "common" people to join you to hear what they've to say??

[Medea140]

This is the most amusing video I've seen in a long time! I've to praise them for trying to look sincere! Well, at least they're pretending they care, it's more than can be said about many of their fellows CEOs. Am so glad I left the corporate world years ago...

[omogaju]

I am glad I work for a company that speaks out against corruption. Thumbs up to all the ceos

[midlemann]

money is just a symbol to say to others how nuch of god consciousness you actually manage.

god is not selfishness but the manage you make of his consciousness it is, so money is power. And that means god is living in earth under the selfisgness ones. when money looses its power you'll know god is free again.

[onemanband1963]

Multi-million dollar salaried types speaking about morality. Oh, the hypocrisy.

[LoveIsTheAnswer26]

Only tenured professors are eligible to run for Congress.

[Truthpolice9698]

These are the honest CEO's who know all to well the bribes they have to pay worldwide. Because they are in the US they can be jailed for bribes. They are competing against international companies that have no problems with bribes.

Give them a break and some respect. They are somewhat disingenuous talking about poor people bribes which is a small fraction of the bribes but their trying to make a positive change.

Back off and don't let the rhetoric fool you as to their intentions.

[dennisoneill4]

I love it. A bunch of over compensated corporate CEO's talking about corruption. It's like having the union thugs that head up all the corrupt union spouting off about workers' rights. We can fight corruption by having the corrupt financial company CEO's who did so much to wreck our economy prosecuted along with the union thugs who bankrupted the American auto industry.

[jcrre123]

Way to go! At least someone is trying to do something. I think the best way is to actually incarcerate the culprits. We need our country to put teeth into our white collar crime laws.

[mytoplawyer]

I know - get rid of the World Bank and the Federal Reserve

[larrydallas187]

its all about corruption; grease for the gears of capitalism!!

[ToastieProductions]

Corruption greases all governments and economies gears.

[treseax]

firstly we have to ask why we always give get out of jail cards to polititions and people holding high-level goverment positions?

if the citizen's are judged and sentenced by the government, then equally the government (and the officials of) need to be judged and sentenced by the citizen's. otherwise you just end up with scooter libby type bullshiv

[thebloads]

Each year, CEOs from abovestated companies shovel around 100 million each into their already swelling bank accounts. If they agreed to loose just a small portion of it, Imagine how many starving kids would get fed

[BlueEagle8]

Are you kidding. These guys are all shills. Wanta help... go home and start a farm.

[N37BU6]

Start with Obama.

[muskiet5]

These people with their 9-10 digit bank accounts are much more likely to make an impact in this world then you with your 4 digit student account.

Maybe there's a little bit of hypocracy in this message, but at least these people are doing in stead of just talking like most 4 digit account students.

[billyjoeallen]

Caretakers are much more easily corrupted than owners. The government is a caretaker for the people. The solution is simple, if not easy: create a stateless society.

[DCMSangro]

How bout you and your 9-10 digit bank accounts contribute to my 4 digit student account? 90% of the money in the USA belongs to what is it 9% of the population? yep. fact.

[humaner]

Capitalism is losing its shine and these prewar chumps are trying to repackage greed.Barf

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Feeding starving people is a scam, the countries divert all the aid to line their own pockets. If you wanted you could feed people with insects which are a good, readily available source of protein, but they don't and it's not that starving people are above eating bugs either!

[mr2oad]

Good luck! Most third world countries theyre third wold because bribery is the main foundation of their governments! The poor citizens cant get a single thing from their government unless they bribe someone.

In North Africa for example if u get stopped for traffic violation all u have to do is hand a $5buck to a police man and u wont get ticket, or if u want a sample thing such as national ID etc.. u wont get it unless u bribe someone. And it goes on an on an on..

[Jamesmandana]

Maybe the title should be "Help Us Fight Us"? you gotta love big multi-national corporations...

[maramarieee]

sorry, but this video is a joke

[Kickapoocd]

I can't move! My butt still hurts from Bush bending over the country I love. And I think that guy stole my wallet

[Beadbud5000]

This is kind of a joke because corporate CEO's are often the most corrupt people on the planet!

[doinit2init]

Excuse us for being cynical, thats what happens when you watch your country being destroyed by greed.

[somecomputergeek]

Why don't we get all of the greediest, most power-hungry, corrupt representatives of the major financial institutions of the world to make all of the decisions?

Maybe that would solve the problem?

Yeah! WEF, IMF and the World Bank! Let's give THEM all of the authority and hope they put the interests of the people first.

[AngryAgain]

I don't believe them. I think they want your break through idea so they can stomp on you.

[ojlavoie]

Um, elect good citizens with integrity?

[ojlavoie]

Ooh! Ooh! Get off oil and switch to free electricity?

[ojlavoie]

Sue billions out of Cheney-Bush for damages on Halliburton bribes and the invasion of Iraq.

[ojlavoie]

Here's an idea to fight corruption: put the criminals in jail.

[doinit2init]

Too late! You've let the neo-cons set the agenda the last 30 years!

[hangingonat60]

You really sound like this is a vision you have and not just a dream! I like that. I was recently layed off. I've been a secretary at the executive level for over 20 years. One of you hire me and I'll help organize all the great videos that you'll be getting. Youtubers are a talented, smart and caring bunch of bananas! LOL

[RobCorvette]

Try to read off the teleprompter better. At least make it look like you care.

[bogdy72000]

sorry can't do ... my country is undisputed worlds  most corrupted country ... at least you can come and learn how to fight corruption...we fight it all the time integrating it in our daily life to keep an eye on it...don't you love it? I know you will (:

[nedlund]

this is so stupid, these guys trying to save the world. they are the problem and they are the ones who take bribes

[uteropo]

This is little more than desperate propaganda, the existence of these corporations is the most serious corruption.

[basforch]

Dear people

By fighting corruption, you will only increase corruption

Change your focus

What is the opposite of corruption?

..............................­.....

That is what this campaign should be about

Love is send to all

[Dranesis]

Bribe the corrupt people to make them not corrupt any more... best idea eva isn't it!

[hypotheticalmoggy]

nice idea

[ec100]

Corruption is something that I think is something that is controlled by each person. But I think everyone needs to be aware of guidelines or "do's and don'ts" so that they know what to do and what not to do.

[Stremius1]

Corruption can't be solved it is human nature. Where there is power there is corruption. The best way to help reduce corruption is the separation of power. How separation of power works in a global corporation I do not know.

[raoulthompson]

Well said. It doesn't work in a global corp., because corporations represent centralization in every facet. What you have here is an entirely corrupt SYSTEM of corporations that, when faced with the consequences of centralization, plead for help. It's the same reason that centralization in nature is terrible; diversity is the only way to overcome negative factors that come along. Fact: in 1900 90% self-employed. Today, 10%. Don't be fooled, corruption occurs BECAUSE of corporate conglomerates.

[raoulthompson]

correction: corruption occurs to this large extent, to this global scale, because of corporations. On a self-employed level corruption certainly exists but is more self-regulating.

[RecceMan90]

Ya cause Corporations are trying to meet the Governments (of the world, including the USA)' level of corruption!

[stoneboy858]

nice try,but hard to realize

[Amirenstein]

Great idea, but hard to be achieved! It needs policies, practices, control system, and FAIR decision makers!

[thebloads]

look whos talking

[scotttyler14]

CEOs against corruption? Isn't that ironic! What's next: fur trappers for PETA? Rednecks against the NRA?

[RecceMan90]

and Chicago Politicians against the Mob!

[nealjennings]

Hear, hear!

[sniper6081]

Alright. Let's do it.

[marcinwywial]

This video is a joke..Corruption will continue to exist because people are selfish and choose themselves over others. People must always help others first, this way selfishness would be conquered and there would no need for corruption.

[AnimeFreeMan]

Corruption can't be solved it is human nature. Where there is power there is corruption. The best way to help reduce corruption is the separation of power. How separation of power works in a global corporation I do not know.

[KELBYL]

Legalize and promote the use of marijuana

haha ... corruption is a great thing when you're on the receiving end of it... What are these guys all complaining about, they are all zipping around in private jets and living large. They probably want to know how to stop it... so that they can find a way around stopping it.

[midlemann]

You have no idea how big the problem is...

They manage the companies and money so they choose who gets succesful in biz or not.

they even manage clinical abortion in legal medicine to have more girls than boys.

Whoever has a progresist mind or it is not the "feeling emotional" type of person they tray to enslave him and psychologically kill him. And they are all toghether in this so Open you eyes and do something.

[backtublive]

did u win against pauverty ????????
