Money is to power what air is to humans. Wishing it were diefrefnt will not make it so. The special interest groups will always have more access to our elected representatives (power) than individuals, and access will provide corresponding influence. Only because the voters permit the access. When the demos turns on those special interests the parasites will figure out what a dangerous game they played.It is because politicians are unethical and will seek power and money as they sell votes to special interests that are also seeking power and money that government must be very small and without much power. We are all part of a special interest group, so you have to be belong to one to reap the rewards. Some of us do not subscribe to the morality of parasitism as you do and do not seek to rob our neighbors of purchasing power so that we can benefit. All we want is for everyone to mind their own business as property rights are protected. Theft is theft, no matter who does it. And it is not comforting to be a part of the majority which oppresses others not only for moral and ethical reasons but because it is only a matter of time when the tide turns and one's favoured status is lost as parasite turns to host as a new special interest coalition gains the upper hand.
