Your concern is misplaced!!!!!


Only the people you choose to elect based on a criteria only you know, can pass legislation!!!


Not billionaires!!!!


Suggest you choose different people to represent you by selecting different critieria upon which to base your vote.


Charlie wrangel, a democrat, was gate keeper for much of the complex tax code. Be sure to thank Charlie for his cooperaion with billionaires....multi millionaires too. Like the lawyer legislators in congress and the senate.


An unpredictable Trump just might drain the swamp. guaranteed a hillry clinton or mr hope and change was never going to drain the swamp, except in election rhetoric.

so what your implying is that a man who was born into terrific wealth , who never once in his life showed any concern for the little guy until he decided he wanted to be president , now looks like he might revert to his old ways which in reality prioritise the 1%

well colour me astonished

Just admit that the rich are just smarter and better than the commoners and are nature's true chosen ones - the output of economic Darwinism; the winners. We should just give them the ruling authority and let them do what is best for us.

That way we can end up like any other third-world nation.

I'm unsure on this. But it does seem as if big government and big business are in cohorts to screw the rest of us.

The politicians that support big government pass all sorts of laws that benefit billionaires and large corporations.

By giving the government the power to rig the system against the little guy, we end up with laws and rules that benefit the elite.

Take away this power from the government and the elite can't have their politicians rigging the system for them.
