The negative connotations of politics are due primarily due to corruption. New York's Tammany Hall controlled the money and politics in New York City, enriching the few politicians at the expense of the many, while Vice President Spiro T. Agnew was forced from office and convicted of accepting cash and bribes while he was governor of Maryland. European and Asian politicians are forced from office reguarly for corruption, all of which serve to reinforce a well-earned negative image of politicians.

Politics has so often carried negative associations due to the past experiences. The thirst for power has seen some people kill others and of all sort of negative atrocities to competitors.
