Bloomberg could buy all of them with just what he is willing to spend to get the office.
That kind of wealth combined with being smart and having the power of the Presidency is not anything we've ever seen. That threat alone almost makes the case that there should even be people with that kind of money and almost certainly makes the case that the system is vulnerable to the oversized influence it can buy in our politics should it be at the personal disposal of the leader of our nation.
We aren't talking about the petty anti grifting we see currently. It bad enough that a few hundred thousand can get a hundred million in govt contracts steered your way or a law that allows you to round up humans and put them in cages for profit. There is a danger that $10 billion someday might get you an enteral leader who can pass down the office and its power through lineage .
people with 'that kind of money' have been influencing the presidency..or attainment there of ...for generations...
why is it troubling now?
