it was ever so

It has always been this way; this has always been the truth. Sometimes stylized as "’twas ever so." We should be disappointed to learn our political leaders are so deep in the pockets of corporations, but we should not be surprised. It was ever so. ’Twas ever so, unfortunately—the higher you are in a socioeconomic hierarchy, the more you depend on the exploitation of lower-class workers.
