Thank goodness for General Smedley Butler's standing against it.

This thing we are currently trapped in is about giving the Billionaires greater and greater control of government, and they really aren't interest in anything but radical capitalism with no restraints on buying government.

Did you ever wonder where the European royals that replaced Roman rule came from??? They emerged from that eras super-rich. And they used their wealth to create heritable nobility. That same trap is currently set to overwhelm our Democracy.

Trump is desperate to establish his dynasty. I can't even imagine where the upper limit on bad will be under the rule of his greedy kids
