WASHINGTON, DC – December 10, 2018 Nothing could be harder than to live in times of change, but it’s fun. You can watch in detail how politicians fight for a piece of the pie.

Top managers, successful political strategists, advertisers, bankers, company owners -- for them this way of life is part of the job. Sometimes the truth comes out.
