When is corruption worst?

Corruption is amoral and asocial. It is economically destructive and anti developmental. It also distorts government’s fiscal policies as corruption erodes government budgetary funds. Corruption becomes worst when it is expropriated from poor countries to other economically better countries by corruptors.

I heard a school of that who argue that corruption a good means of income distribution from the rich to the poor. I think this premise is totally wrong that grounded the assumption as corruption is between the rich and poor people. But the deal is between two or more individuals or groups on government or public property which would have been deployed for public infrastructures like road, school, health, etc.

It is true that petty corruption may be tolerated and presumed as income distribution if it is not adapted as a culture society. But grand corruption by higher government officials totally damages society and also good governance ultimately leading to chaos and unrest. It is here that corruption becomes the worst.
