This is what everyone means when they say we've become a plutocracy. And. once these wealthy people buy enough Congressmen to do away with inheritance tax we will be well on our way to a ruling class. Something our Founders, and all the brave souls that went on rickety boats, came to America to avoid. Instead of opportunity, these plutocrats will limit that to their own class. With schools too expensive for the hoi poilloi and a return to the monopolistic practices that TR broke up. We're even seeing a return of the spoils system that begot the rank corruption, that is the base on which any plutocracy is built.
