    The millionaires/billionaires are just sharks in the ocean of capitalism and politicians nurture the conditions to make it possible for them to eat. Unfortunately, politicians feed off of the sharks in true capitalist fashion. Why are lawmakers allowed to trade stocks?

    Politicians are the only ones that can really make change outside of driving sharks to extinction.

      Politicians don’t control the sharks, it’s the inverse. They are incapable of changing the system.
