Well, I don't agree with you on CEOs. Tigers will do what tigers will do. However, I do agree with many of your points on our politics. It is the job of our government to keep the economic playing field level and keep corruption to a minimum, but they are failing utterly at that, which is why our CEOs are running amok. I think our 2 party system is a real problem. Both parties are absolutely worthless. In addition, I think both parties are anti-capitalist. The GOP loves to spend money through tax cuts and ware and the DNC loves to spend money on welfare. They both love increasing our debt and kicking the can down the road, instead of solving problems at the root. It's why we have crony-capitalism. And that cronyism is endemic on both sides of the aisle, which is why I say what we really have is crony-capitalism at best and fascism at worst. Citizens United...need I say more. BTW, you should know that I have advocated for a Parliamentary system. I think it is a more inclusive system that encourages new ideas and doesn't allow one part to get overly entrenched, because they have to form coalitions among many parties to hold onto power and form a ruling government. Our 2 party system is outdated and corrupted, ossified and brittle. The good news is that Trump is a wrecking ball and the millennials aren't voting for the establishment from either party. So maybe they will wreck the establishment and something new and better will emerge. We can all hope.
