But, yeah, I would claim that there are certain things that conventional wisdom tells us are in peoples' bests interests: having a say in their government, having a government that protects them and their welfare, etc. History has proved this over time. Why do we need to go back to relearn mistakes and lessons of the past? Are we that bored with our lives?

Fact: Wealthy people are lobbied to support political causes and politicians. Don't believe me? Ask the Koch Bros.

But you want to raise taxes on all wealthy people and 99.99% aren’t the Koch brothers. Or George Soros. You forgot about him.


If in your original statement you were talking about polical access then I misunderstood. It didn’t read that way to me.

Oh and I see you changed “round” to “flat” where I quoted you which makes my response look kind of stupid. I think I get what you are talking about when you say a few have all the power.
