"Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated"

- Will Rogers

About this Quote

This quote by Will Rogers speaks with the increasing expense of politics in modern society. It suggests that the expense of running a political campaign has become so high that it takes a substantial amount of cash to even be defeated. This implies that the cost of running an effective project is even higher. This could be due to the need for pricey advertising, the cost of working with personnel, and the expense of travel for prospects. It likewise recommends that those with the most cash have an advantage in politics, as they can outspend their challengers and have a much better chance of winning. This could result in a situation where the wealthy have an unreasonable advantage in politics, and the voices of those with less cash are not heard.
