The Relationship Between Politics and Finance
This is a writing sample from Scripted writer George Root
In a free market economy, politics and finance are forever linked. Politicians looking to make an impact on the voting public will often reduce income taxes or offer significant tax breaks for working families. Laws are enacted to regulate commerce that help shape economic policy for political parties.
The economy of a country is not something that should be twisted for political gain. The lives of real people, and their families, are impacted by the economic decisions of politicians. Until some sort of common-sense financial controls are put in place that dictate how politicians gather data to enact economic laws, the public will suffer from a bad mixture of politics and finance.
