+Jd Lassiter Not sure what you are getting at here. Almost all of his campaign money comes from individual sources (both large and small, but mostly small). Other forms of campaign financing comes from union's, which I believe he heavily supports (mostly middle/lower class). The people he has denounced as being greedy are the top earners of the country who wield their money/power to promote various candidates and finance a large portion of politicians to enact laws which cater towards the small percent of citizens of a very large country. As for my initial comment, I stated I found it disheartening that a large portion of the public support the politicians who do not have the interests of the public in mind. By no means does he have all the answers, nor can he. However, he does address the concerns of political/capital corruption overtly. I believe he is the only candidate with the counties interest in mind over his own. Ultimately this may mean high taxes (or "making them pay") which results in a better life for the majority. I am ok with that because living a great country should, and cannot come cheap. So no, we cannot have it both ways. As for your last sentence, I never called anyone out and insulted their intelligence. I simply stated my concern for the way in which our country is heading.

its not hijacked by elected officials. Its that we were hijacked by finance which over the 80s and 90s became the most powerful industry in the US.

if only i could go back in time and tell you how much better it was in 2016...

Neo Liberalism. After Carter dragged the party to the Center they lost the next three elections to Neo Liberals. The damage was done. Clinton solidified the corporate shift in the party in the 90s. Since the 80s meaningful anti trust has been abandoned....now we dont even have prosecutors and A USA's that know how to litigate it. The SEC does almost no enforcement and then they are normally catching people who screwed over other rich people (Madoff) or they give a company a slap on the wrist. I mean how is Wells Fargo still standing. But like 43 percent of the electorate will vote for Trump no matter what. There just arent enough progressives voting and the older "liberals" and "moderates" are brainwashed into thinking their 401ks are all that matter.
