What you are seeing is the end result of a fifty year long *class war* against the middle and working Americans that the rich have waged, and won. Warren Buffet was making this known [two decades ago](https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/26/business/yourmoney/26every.html) and no one listened.

Longer than that, I'd say. The rich have been screwing with the lower classes since the country was founded.

There is a movie with Jeremy Irons and I can't recall which one. But he discussed how the rich are always the same for a milenia and we are just observing their control change forms over and over and over again.

The business plot never died it just mutated Unless you rewrite the constitution this will keep happening There must be a separation of corporate influence from government, billionaires should not be allowed to involve themselves with politics in any way, no funding, no support, you choose to become a billionaire you lose your vote, same for religions Of course citizens united turned political corruption into a big business and opened a gaping national security hole It's all fucked and a new constitution is needed The military becomes the last line of defence, gun rights have to go
