1. Interesting cartoon.

People with means have generally been voters, people with less not so much to not at all, so the pols go after the people with money, with a few bought for a relatively small amount.

Now we have created millions of people who were likely former voters but no longer have money, and little to no hope of having any for the next decade or two.

Will they vote, will they vote opposite of how they used to, will they not vote at all...for tens of millions it doesn't seem to have done much good, whether they vote for or against their interests, so will that impact what they do?

And we obviously aren't doing well when we have to pump $85 billion a month of funny money into propping up the assets of the wealthy, but when we pull it, and we will, there is nothing under it.

More interesting times ahead, in a country where, frankly, we were all certainly smart enough and educated enough not to have let it come to this.
