Business and Politics

A hard headed businessman or woman,
Will always find politics hard.
Even with a wallet that is fat,
Without his or her chain of command,
Unless he or she is used to wearing more than one hat,
Unless he or she understands that someone always needs a free ride,
Unless he or she understands that subsidies will always have a place.
And that the right words can buy votes when money can't.
