Deserves a second reply as I do like the 'trigger' action and then there is Sorta's recent comment.
Wow, was it a fast ball I threw by you and retired you looking.

Although I have already agreed with you (Dems seem to need constant approval ;) with

"FOLLOW THE MONEY"

I'm afraid you are missing the obvious in that money is power - the only true power unfortunately.

Not to be confused with Arizona's attempt at a cheap shot re trading stalks

.. despite the evidence from American economic history of greater economic equality and economic growth under much higher tax rates [for the super rich]

See the paradox. Which is a reverse paradox to boot - the power that would be experienced and enjoyed by the low, lower and middle classes is forever stalled.
The real power has to be redistributed. To have the wealth of the commons truly reflected in peoples' livelihood. True Redistribution of power no-where in sight. [I know there are contradictions in this but suck it up buttercup - that is the very nature of a good paradox ;]

Notwithstanding Sox's excellent summary (which should be on a citizenship test and any future politician oath of office)

The Supreme court made a decision called Citizens United where money is speech and corporations have people. Hence unlimited amounts of money can be raised. Dems have never been able to get passed the Senate for any reforms although they have tried. To change in the future they need a majority in house and senate. In the Senate they need to change the filibuster rules (keep the filibuster but change it so that at least 4 members of the majority party must be part if it). If that happened you would see many changes moving forward to make us a better country.
