About This Quote
Not all politicians are bad, but, when they are, the world suffers for it. Unfortunately, most politicians don’t see the harm in their actions. They believe they are doing things for the betterment of others and that they are helping them reach their goals. Sadly, in the end, only a small percentage of people benefit from their actions. The rest of them end up having to suffer because of a corrupt politician.
