The robber barons are back

In service of their out-sized greed, the titans of American capitalism want to consolidate their choke-hold on the government that once belonged to all of us.  Already, it's no longer ours.  They want to buy for short money all the rest.

They don't care whether there are any crumbs left for the rest of us.  We'll be more docile if we have to live hand to mouth and the only path to a secure old age is to become their loyal, silent retainer.
