That is the problem with a profoundly wealthy class of people, their tentacles reach into all aspects of our life.
At one point in our history we realized it...well actually the founding fathers warned us about it...and regulations were made to limit the problem, but that all changed with Reagan and deregulation and they eventually eliminated those impediments to control by the PTB and here we are today.

I don't trust sources I trust my instincts and the facts...and they tell me this is the truth, or at least part of the truth...and I take everything with a grain of salt.
