Here is a quote about it from "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. I feel, to a major extent Indian politics of bribery can be attributed to this way of thinking.
... The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for people to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens?What's there in that for anyone? But pass the kind of laws that neither can be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - an you create a nation of law breakers -- and then you cash on the guilt.
