you are going to a government office to complete some yearly bureaucratic task. you must pay a government fee and bribe an official to complete the task. if you fail to complete the task, there is a fine. which set of costs for those three is best (fee, bribe, fine) for society?

-
Do you hate bribes more than you hate government coercion via fines? Any amount of bribery is corrosive to norms of impartiality and fairness
-
why would you pay either the bribe or the fee if the penalty for not doing so is zero?
