When the top 400 people have more wealth than the bottom 150 million, something is wrong with that society. The Koch brothers, worth 42 billion, using the Citizens United decision have put forth a propaganda campaign worthy of Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany e.g. the American enterprise Institute. 50 or so dummy non porfits with names that sound either patriotic or family oriented or for the elderly. 10's of millions going into legislators campaigns and 10's of millions hiring hundeds/of lobbyists. And that is jsut the Koch borthers, now add the Wall street lobbyists, health care lobbyists, oil company lobbyists and all the rest of the rich people. How much do you think the poor can contribute, or how many lobbists can they hire? And the average person has got to figure out what is real and what is self serving bullshit.
