Thanks Thom, this article re the Oligarchy in the US strikes me clearly, as the most concise and coherent description of where we are w our current search for Democracy.

It is a severe clearing of any fake mist surrounding the issue.

To any view , the Supreme Courts’ embrace of and immersion into this arbitrary contract by the wealthy and powerful is a dismal portent for Democracy . We’d better stop weeping and wringing our hands about the possibility of losing our Democracy, it is here . We need to make a lot of noise and utilize what used to be our right to vote and now is our duty. To actively work against the Oligarchy, Supreme Court included, we must staunch the flow of misinformation (Lies) from the Right and money as their number one tool .

I think of the programs and tax revenue that are to be gutted by the rights insistence on their way . The billions that they rather pay to stop Democracy.

I think converting those monies to tax revenue seems reasonable.
