I currently live in US.I don't believe it is ok for anyone to have ties to mafia and accept kickbaks as you describe.
But the fact of the matter is people vote for politicians. Even if people stay home and not participate in voting process they still by their inaction have an effect of having one candidate prevail over another. This being the case, who is to blame if politicians perform poorly?
