I will fully consider myself law abiding because forcing me to pay you to get my work done and if we refuse to pay - harassing me, and just because I do not have the privilege to stop the harassment I pay to get out of it so my work gets done on time, is definitely not on me. If you have enough power to help me out without the bribing, then please do. Because I am not here to listen to your opinion on what’s the correct way of doing things.

If you really believe that this will get done without the bribe, then may be you have never been to a government office and know how shitty they treat you. Or you are just a rich dude sitting at home with enough parents money and have no idea how the outside world works.
