(384 posts)64. The current amount of wealth in the USA,
could not have been imagined 250 years ago. That wealth, and the power and greed that comes with it, is what is corrupting our government. Everything always leads back to the money. Our Supreme Court is bought out, as is most of Congress and the Senate. The damn Israelis pump millions into PACs and literal bribes. Trump of course is a world class grifter, but he does have help from the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. They have been planning this take over for years. And it also doesn't help that 30% of Americans still think Trump is doing a wonderful job. If there is ever any test for voting, it should be a bottom line of an 80 IQ.
