Watch Your Money, Because Other People Sure Are
Derek Hunter
Maybe you started off thinking politics was an area where the best and brightest went, where ideas and ideals matter more than anything else. Then you start paying closer attention and realize no one is as pure as they claim to be and that many politicians just talk a good game but live in fear of having to do the things they campaigned on (see the repeal Obamacare vote). Soon, the crust of naiveté is wiped from your eyes, and cynicism settles.
That cynicism toward politicians is absolutely justified, regardless of which party or politicians. There is no one you’ll agree with 100 percent, with the exception of yourself (maybe). But it should not stop there. It should extend to everyone: pundits, columnists, “influencers,” everyone.
A good rule of thumb will help you in life: the more someone insists they are something, the less likely it is they are that thing.
