[T]he world we live in is governed by the most revolting bunch of crooks ever to defile the soil of this planet... [You] must never take them seriously, which is exactly what they want.

About This Quote

We live in a world where everything is business. Business is business and everything is about money. Even the way we speak of people and situations is more about the bottom line than it is about who or what we are talking about. The world of business and yes, even politics, the whole world revolves around money.

When we look at things from the perspective of “business” we see nothing but evil and greedy people trying to make a buck off of others. The reality of the situation is that there are bad people in every industry and every group but they don’t want us to see that. They want us to believe that those who earn their riches through all of those hard, honest jobs are the bad guys.

They want us to believe that those who earn their riches by cheating and taking advantage of others are the good guys. The reality of the situation is that both groups are full of scum and greed, but some people can become rich by being scum and greedier than others.
