Z, didn't you say that if elected officials screw us over, we can vote them out of office, and that makes them inherently better than CEOs who screw us over?

I don't think so. Maybe I did before I knew anything about money in politics or gerrymandering. It's the case to a certain extent, but not to the extent that it's a distinction I find all that important at this point.

The thing that is better about some politicians, is that, as I said in my last post, some really are trying to do the right thing for the country's well-being and know how to do it. For the most part, for-profit business isn't about that. And it probably shouldn't be. But something should be done to check business's worst instincts.
