The rich have always had the power....nothing new here. Some of you guys are talking like the rich are hording all the stuff which makes life pleasant(like food, shelter, and clothing) and another Bastille Day is coming. Such claims are utter bull shit peddled by soothsayers in an attempt to influence your vote. The fact that you allow yourself to be manipulated so easily gives people more power over you than numbers in a ledger ever have.
Let me ask you this: Do you think the rich are wielding more power today than they were 100 years ago?
Please address the crux of my post, thanks.
