Tens of millions are poor in America so .001% of our population can be very very rich, for no other reason than that their money floods Washington. Nothing you don鈥檛 already know but somehow it always seems to me to bear repeating. #WealthTax

The real enemy is money in politics. That is the cancer underlying all the other cancers.

You're right - and it's a bit depressing, since Citizens United isn't going away anytime soon.

Politics, in the sense that you use the word, is designed by and for the moneyed, no matter what alterations are made. It's not useful for us, but that's okay: We're much more powerful than your "politics" when we stop trying to use it contrary to its purpose. It's not fit.
I understand you have to keep appearances but tell us you at least see where people are coming from here

How did those people get money and why do they put it in politics?
