Great story thanks....yes money is power and jowls Mcconnell has already tried putting a rider to loosen campaign finance laws even more on some upcoming bill. Can't find the link... Also I can't remember the last time we had a antitrust lawsuit in years, as companies get bigger and bigger so yes I would add that the SP 500 CEO's plus some privately held companies do rule over the majority. What I also learned over the years is how to fight the pubs and why I have been so down on Obama for refusing to fight the pubs, bankers, plutocrats, corporatists and multi nationals. They are running this country and world. Money is power 85 people have more money than the bottom 3.5 billion people! That says it all about who controls the world and the US should be leading the fight against the plutocrats, yet we are doing anything but being 65th in the world in income inequality. This is why I was always pissed at Obama for bringing so many Republicans into his administration, sociopathic politico's like Rahm, Summer's and Geithner, who would throw their mothers under the bus if they thought it was politically expedient and for not working with the dems and for our priorities (the ones he campaigned on!). I know how to fight political battles and now our only hope, IMO, lies with the women and a few liberal men in the congress and going forward. I am hoping for a coalition of women, kids and minorities. I hope Obama wakes up, but it is way to late to do anything now but fight a rear guard action. He squandered our army in 08. We ahd a wndow of opportunity. The first thing he could do now is fill as many slots as possible with smart liberal dems. But he won't.
