2. While pretending that we don't because we don't like feeling bad about being so greedy. (n/t)

3. So we pretend we have a representative government, while only the oligarchs are represented.

And, we pretend the bribery and payola which stole our representative government is not legal.

9. He's right.

Sanders consistently shows the way we should be going, and exposes the way things really are.

10. I wish he would call them "one-per-centers" instead of "oligarchs"

I believe oligarchy is one of those terms that people don't really understand, but they realize they're supposed to hate oligarchs and they don't know why. It's like calling somebody a "socialist," or a "communist." Well what does that mean? Well I don't really know but I guess I hate them anyway.

When you call somebody a one-per-center, most people get it. Most of us understand that a few privileged Americans (less than 10,000) own more wealth by themselves than the entire rest of the country combined. That's staggering.
