Thank you wealthy capitalists and oligarchs who bought control of government.

And thank you government for allowing the continued sale of all power to the highest bidder because of your refusal to punish open bribery.

Government is us. We've got no one to blame for this but ourselves. I mean people like you and myself might see this as the obvious problem. But far too many people are oblivious or simply don't have a problem with it. Or have been made to feel that we have little resource for it and simply must accept it.
