DISTRESSING FIGURES

I saw this shocking figure on the news last night and Cenk Ugyur of The Young Turks made an excellent point that I agree with. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING RICH. EVEN EXTREMELY RICH--though many might debate if Walmart got that rich from fair trade practices. But the rich now want the freedom to buy our government and not disclose who contributed what to whom. And face it, we're dumb and getting dumber as a nation and our perceptions are so heavily crafted by ads that he with the most ad budget wins. Does that sound like democracy to you?
