Roosevelt Institute Senior Fellow and New Deal 2.0 pundit Thomas Ferguson, a political scientist at U Mass, Boston, documents the effective sale of Congress to special interests. The congressmen who raked consumer advocate and should-be populist hero Elizabeth Warren over the coals were the paid shills of the big banks she was willing to confront. Membership on financial services committees is now the product of the right campaign contributions. While public outrage may have led to the passage of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, it did nothing to contain the alliance of lobbyists and business friendly Republicans (along with more than a few Democrats) working overtime to water it down and block its implementation.
In the meantime, the Republicans have launched a campaign to rig the political system. Their campaign against unions is a campaign against the last remaining source of institutional support for Democrats. At the same time, they are engaged in a wholesale initiative to make it harder to vote. Who is most likely to be affected by these measures? The answer is clear: the poor, the young, the less educated, recent immigrants, in short, those mostly likely to be Democrats and most likely to be the victims of tea party budget cuts.

The more bold the 'man behind the curtain' becomes, the better chance we have at identifying his game and shutting it down.
The socialist backed unions have rigged the elections for years. But then dimwits will protect socialism over freedom anyday of the week, they just won't openely admit it.June Carbone: How to Take Our Country Back From the Money Men who Fund the Tea Party

No ffense but the author of this article is DREAMING if he imagines that the solution to the problem of corrupt goverment can be found in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The SYSTEM ITSELF is so bent that there is no way in hell that it is going to reform itself.
Forget the LAW, they LAW is the vasoline with which the Insiders screw the public, kids.
The SCOTUS is now nothing but a forking TOOL, kids.

He's a she. Did you even read the byline, never mind the article?
Did any of you know that the guy that started the tea party on the floor of the Chicago stock exchange was a plant?
The article in Huffpo is simply the most recent/high visibility.

I am not optimistic. Naomi Cahn and I wrote a book on the family called Red Families v. Blue Families. We expected it to appeal to family law scholars and women's groups. Instead, we received immediate attention from conservative family institutes. We were eventually invited to speak by same-sex marriage advocacy organizations. We never heard much from the feminist left. At first we were mystified. Then we realized that while there is a well funded network of right wing think tanks, the organized left -- and much of the center -- has starved on the vine for lack of funds. Same-sex marriage passed in New York State because Republican funders, who identify with their gay sons and lesbian daughters, supported the cause. Efforts that require limiting the influence of the billionaires we have empowered and insulated from accountability face an uphill struggle.
I like the ending.

Or you could just address the article, as opposed to attempting to shoot the messenger.
