The race for the White House may cost more than two billion dollars. What’s getting trampled into dust are the voices of people who aren't rich.
Watching what’s happening to our democracy is like watching the cruise ship Costa Concordia founder and sink slowly into the sea off the coast of Italy, as the passengers, shorn of life vests, scramble for safety as best they can, while the captain trips and falls conveniently into a waiting life boat.
We are drowning here, with gaping holes torn into the hull of the ship of state from charges detonated by the owners and manipulators of capital. Their wealth has become a demonic force in politics. Nothing can stop them. Not the law, which has been written to accommodate them. Not scrutiny -- they have no shame. Not a decent respect for the welfare of others -- the people without means, their safety net shredded, left helpless before events beyond their control.

Take the time to link to the website cited in the article. Google TooMuch.org. I'm not saying the rich are "evil", but the activities reported are eye opening.
I do believe that money corrupts most people and that many rich people are evil. They want what they want and have the money to pay for it whether it's right or wrong. After all the bible says it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle then it is for a rich man to get into heaven.
