These ultra rich basically set the policies based on what will make "them" more money..

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as there are competing interests in the market place, we would expect these interests to cancel each other out. It's where their interests are NOT in conflict that we see them concentrate power and act outside of the People's interests.

If only we had a truly open, competitive marketplace and not one where the government picks winners and losers.

The average Republican is so comically delusional and misinformed. He thinks that Cliven Bundy is one of his kind, when Cliven Bundy is a rich white man mooching off the people's land. He thinks that giving the people's land to private interests will benefit himself, when what it will do is further enrich the rich who can afford it.

The theory might seem legit, but you cannot sit there and say that the current policies have anything to do with the middle working class in the US.

IT is either pander to the rich, or hand shite out to the poor.

Meanwhile we are stuck in the middle with little to no voice.
