Yes, but one, the problem of pandering to the oligarchs is much greater in the Republican party which they totally control and two, the progressive wing of the Democratic party, if they ever get power will go after the oligarchs.
In fact the main thing that the moderate and progressive wing fight about it how much to take on the oligarchs, Wall street, and bankers.
Remember Obama did not indict even one banker although they caused the 2008 financial melt down with massive fraud e.g. calling junk bonds, CDO's triple AAA, so shutting down bank lending as they could not figured value..
So if your concern are the oligarchs, which is should be, the thing to do is back the progressive wing of the Democratic party led by people like senator Warren.
PS you need money and power to fight the Republican party and only the Democratic party has that.

The parties are yet another distraction. The real problem is reigning in the oligarchs who fund and empower both parties. They, via their think tanks on the right and their special electors on the left, ensure that the focus of the public remains off of correcting income and asset imbalance that is at the root of the oligarch power. Tax reform should be the first nine items in the progressive top ten list, with ten reserved for 'Other' |
