The ability to come together for less positive goals is exactly the same as the ability to come together for positive ones.... Take a look at some of the 'fundraising emails' the Koch's sent out last election season http://images2.americanprogressactio...ochmeeting.pdf and this event http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoco...onaires-caucus. The 'liberal oligarchs' are doing the same sorts of things... this is not a red shirt or blue shirt issue. It's a concentration of power issue and it is very real.

Wait, so your example of how this "concentration of power" is a problem is to link to a positive example and claim if they can get together for good, they can get together for evil?
