About this Quote

The law requires that a paper towel ad must be completely truthful, however it turns a blind eye to the lies and deceit of political prospects. This raises the concern of why there is a discrepancy in the expectations of sincerity for various entities. It likewise accentuates the fact that while companies are held accountable for their claims, political leaders are frequently given a complimentary pass. This quote works as a pointer of the importance of stability and the requirement for consistency in holding all individuals and companies to the same standard of sincerity.
