About This Quote

Politics is a game played by the rich with the lives of the poor. The rich spend their lives in power while the poor are forced to spend theirs in poverty. Wealthy people spend their life trying to get more power while poor ones are forced to spend their time fighting to get less of it. While both are fighting for power, the wealthy can afford to focus on other things, like money or fame, while the poor have to focus on fighting for their survival.
