Is there a cabal of Plutocrats trying to decimate the working class? Yup.

14. But I addressed exactly that in my OP.

I am using the Koch brothers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as the most visible, obvious and current examples. See this in my OP:

Mind you, I can name plenty of other billionaires and right wing organizations who are in cahoots with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Koch brothers, and cite their behavior and their pursuit of a very common goal, all of which fits the definition of a cabal, but really, do we want to destroy the DU's bandwidth that way? And many people won't even read THIS much text, much less all the other evidence I'd be posting in the course of such a long expose'.

There are plenty of other examples. But to bastardize Engineer Scotty of the old Star Trek: "the net cannot handle the strain, cap'n!"

However, assuming the Koch brothers' power base is destroyed, how are we certain that others in the business world and on Wall Street won't move in and fill the power vacuum?

This is exactly why I wrote this in my OP:

It can even be argued, quite logically, that the entire campaign contribution system itself is a BREEDING GROUND for cabals.

In fact, I should have said

It can even be argued, quite logically, that the entire campaign contribution system, indeed the entire system of Capitalism, is a BREEDING GROUND for cabals.
