All businessmen are scum.
All politicians are to some extent salesmen.
In some of the countries where we operate, there is a tradition of corruption, in which the political elites work with business in the framework of unsavory relationships.

Politics is the most corrupt profession on Earth, no matter where you are.

I think there are many honest businessmen.
