I am not naive to the Leonard Leo's of the this country and their effect on SCOTUS, etc...or the

rise in those who believe in 'Plutocracy' (Peter Theil)...primarily on the conservative side...big business, oligarchs, etc. have and always will be a challenge...BUT...in spite of it all, we in this country have passed laws against monopolization, etc. that thwarts such challenges to democracy...you're not acknowledging them at all.

If you really care, you'll seek out those who demonstrate such vision and support them instead of wringing your hands and giving up...
