>> The government is getting more powerful because of the very rich buying congress! I see that. That is why I want the Federal Government to have limited powers and much smaller spending. Having the Federal government be responsible for 25% of GDP allows the rich and powerful to influence 25% of GDP. Regulation in the name of some special cause is often a barrier for a Rich man's control over a market. >> The rich own congress and the president now. They always have. But now government is bigger than it has ever been. The rich are winning because the government is bigger.
