Politics, politics, politics

Progressivism and Conservatism both have their virtues but have been corrupted by politicians.

True to form this is what has happened in both camps over time.

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”

Interesting to see how the wealthy have flocked to and thrive in modern politics on both sides of the political spectrum.

So true.... I would add "Capitalism" to the list too. It has been corrupted by inter-mingling with politics (government) to a point where the little entrepreneur can't compete. Case in point, small businesses got shutdown during Covid, but mega-companies like Amazon and Walmart (to name a few) continued on and increased.

Just my two cents!

Have a great weekend!!
Steem on,
