146. power
All of that gives one group of people a tremendous amount of power over others. It could be argued that no one under any sort of circumstances should enjoy that much power over others. I would so argue. But to grant that much power to people based solely upon how much money they have or have access to? That is abominable.

If people want to know why the country is such a mess and why we and the Democratic party have made so little progress against the extreme right, the answer is right here in this thread. Authoritarianism, profits over people, "he who has the gold rules," trickle down, privatization, the haves over the have nots - it is all right here.
