    Mate, the oligarchy have been getting away with the worst crimes imaginable since forever. The only difference with Trump is how publicly and brazenly he is with his crimes.

    The average member of the rich and powerful across business and politics are far more corrupt and sociopathic than the rest of the population. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

      You hear about “Russian Oligarchs” all the time, but “American Oligarchs” so rarely. That’s a concept that needs to be out there more - that we are actually ruled by the wealthy. It’s practically the end goal of capitalism.
