    Aaah, but you're assuming that the person being targeted is the
    *only* person capable of doing the job.  Why would someone have to
    pay the TOTAL amount of your salary as a bribe to someone else to
    not hire you?

  Well, if it is less, you can simply offer to work for that amount
less than the other applicant.
  Is the bribe to be paid every year to every potential employer?  How
do you think anyone would get so many fantastically wealthy enemies
with nothing better to do with their money than to make life difficult
for you?  And what makes you think any of this is illegal NOW?  So why
doesn't it happen NOW?
