This pole was quite easy to answer because EVERYBODY knows that politicians all around the globe are liers and cheaters. Sometimes thay have to be like that in order to protect national secrets -- but not all the time, especially around election time.
I think politician do lie (almost the same amount as corporate leaders) but a lot but corporate leaders lie a little more becasue they are not as scrutinized as much. They lie about bugs or malfunctions in products, how long employees have worked to keep costs down, how well the company is doing so their stocks stay high, the quality of their products. I think we just catch politician lying more.
I'd go with the politicians over corporate leaders. If the C*O/VP/P of a company fails to pull something off, there's a huge mess for the company and a smaller severance package for the ex-corporate officer. Politicians on the other hand just pull stuff off and get away with it almost all the time.
Yes, politicans are corrupt, yet people are so blind to see this...some make big promises to get votes and then when they get into power, they at times forget about them...but a few years down the road....they are voted back into office...
it's not just the empty campaign promises, it's stretching the rules for themselves, voting dishonestly, and funneling extra funds for their own "needs" as well
Well....coorporate leaders are really something else too...they'll say the company is loosing money....so they cut staff, export jobs, mergre departments, cut your bonus by 1/2....let one person do the job of 10 people....yet their salaries and bonuses never seem to change...always amazes me.
