Since our political system is based on who has the most
money, is anyone surprised by this? Those with money
are making sure they get more and more of the money.
The rest of us get foreclosures and debt.

The way to fix this is to stop voting for candidates
backed by those with lots of money. Pretty much, if
you see them on TV a lot, don’t vote for them.
