Of course they wield enormous political power. They have lots of money. Money that generates a huge portion of the federal tax bill. Now you explain to me how the massive tax contributions do not "contribute to the country they worked so hard to own.". Tell me, do you think a parasitic whiner like yourself "contributes" to this country more than, say, Tom Brady or lebron? I mean,they are super rich, and pay a huge amount in taxes. Apparently not enough for you to think they are contributing...... So, do you think the millions they pay out in taxes every year, in addition to the wealth they create for other people, is outweighed by your own lofty "contributions,which seem to be little more than efforts to raise awareness at your upset over some people having more than you. Answer, or stuff, change your tampon, and get a goddamn job.
I wish I could have a discussion on holding them economically and politically accountable that matches the scale of their control without being called a jobless loser but it seems the only counter that people such as yourself can muster. Unaccountable, unchecked political power is a threat to freedom, anyone should be able to grasp that concept, yet so many are ecstatic when they once again show that they are all but untouchable.
Maybe if you squared the blame properly, people wouldn't ride your ass for being an envious puke. Rich people didn't steal or power grab anything that big govt. didn't give them. It is the govt. that goes unchecked in making laws, regulations, subsidies, etc...that foster monopolies (or oligarchies if you prefer) that got us where we are in this corporatism.
The rich played the game as it was laid out for them. You've got your blame wrong and that's why those who can see whats going on dont blame the rich, they blame the govt.
You want more govt. to hold themselves accountable or tax the rich. if you can not see this log jammed in your eye, then, you'll have to keep getting rode for being an envious moron. Just being honest.
Just being diversionary is more like it. They own the government, what do you expect? They write their own rules and get to blame their failures on the government that they control, pretty neat racket. The last real political will to hold them accountable died with FDR.
