There are three economies lives.

1) There's this economy where you have Fortune 500 monopolist capitalist firms.

2) Those firms above have nothing to do with those hundred of thousands of small firms that gravitate like those pebbles asteroids between Mars and Jupiter

3) Then there is the private economy. People mortgaging houses. Saving for the future or trying to become small firms, or, making ends meet at the end of the month.

That's how we have to see this whole thing.

1) At level one you have giant firms with costly lobbies, they even don't have to be part of the government, they just elect their own guy and don't have to deal with the messy part of being elected.

They are influenced by AG. They influence foreign policy and such. Game for the big boys whose interests cannot be clearly defined what's interest of the nation in question and what's the interest of the firm per se.

2) At this level, small firms leave at the mercy of the upper crust. The more the upper crust feasts, the more falls from the table for them. If those smaller firms present opportunity to earn money, the monopolist capitalist firms belonging to the upper crust come and develop downstream and take this sector. Like giant companies owning, gas stations everywhwre or pubs in England.

3) At this level you live and pray that you can really make a difference, since you know that the upper crust can make a difference with their check books, in a campaign contribution, much more than you can with your only one single vote.
At this level was quite easier. People up would think for you, and you would be safe on a 30-year job, and didn't have to move and things were kept quite stable and you even was smug with your own system.

Until something changed...
