Maybe the first thing we have to decide is how much of their income do the richest 1% earn? A small business owner working 70 to 90 hours a week to earn $340,000 a year or more earns every penny.
Now consider the other extreme of the richest 1%. Hedge fund honchos "earning" billion$ every year by helping destroy middle class manufacturing jobs and betting on the results of Wall Street flooding pension funds with defective derivatives.
The politicians are one-third of the problem, imho, along with Wall Street bankers and the richest Americans they serve. Finally, I don't think there's any non-violent solution to this problem if you limit your "choice" at the polls to Republican OR Democrat. They are both wholly owned by Wall Street.
