Well let's get some examples of how this big money influence will affect government level decisions.

Fear might be the biggest one.

The Federal Office of Government Ethics has said many of Trump's nominees for Cabinets have not been properly vetted.
It's concerning because confirmation hearings are to begin on Tuesday, and several nominees have not been examined fully for possible ethics violations.

Trump's next move, eliminate the Federal Office of Government Ethics?

I understand how the current Administration can get jumpity and send all kinds of letters to Democrat leadership.

I was waiting for you. I knew it would be "terrible source"; Fake news, Hillary, Obama. But instead it's sort of.....
nothing. Surely you can do better.

I suppose you might as well brace yourself for many more "letters". Unless of course you all decide "ethics" no longer has a place in our federal government.

ETA: I guess in reality that has already been decided. You've elected a man who has current charges of rape; sexually molests women he finds attractive, has multiple law suits against him for not paying his debts, and doesn't pay taxes.

So nevermind. As far as "ethics" go, Trump believes it's for other people.

Actually I agree the big money Cabinet people could affect decisions.

I just don't know what decisions they will be influencing and how those decisions might affect the majority of Citizens.

The Senate confirmation hearings will bring it all out I suspect.

I don`t care how much money they make they can`t do any worse than Obama`s much poorer cabinet members did.

Did you not look at the mini CV I gave for some of the posts, it's all true, Betsy though, I know nothing much about her.

Annnd... What's your point?

Didn't even read the OP. Didn't have to. My propaganda BS sniff detector went off at the title's inclusion of "The Donald". Nope, sorry.

I think you should, (BTW I hope you are well again) besides, propaganda is informative in some way or the other, often either about the information giver or the information itself, however there is no sniff detector until you actually look and consider the plausibility of that information, even then there may not be something that rocks your boat, but at least you looked, you have no need to go with the flow.

Please, people!

The point of my original post is not to be portrayed as “the effect of big money on government.”

The focus was intended to be on the NATURE of the people who have ascended the socio-economic totem pole over the course of the last half-century under the prevailing social, economic, and legal environment (or climate, if you will).

These people are the worst of the worst when it comes to blind ambition, sociopathy, narcissism, self-centeredness, selfishness and even psychopathy. They are devoid of empathy. They care not about the wellbeing of their fellow man. They have absolutely NO social conscience at all. If they are philanthropic, it’s only because such philanthropy is motivated out of phoney image-buiding... a false front to cover their true nefarious objectives which are power, position, and more and more wealth.

These fat cats are the ultimate PARASITES. People complain about les misérables for being parasites due to reliance on welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc. Les misérables are not and should not be your greatest concern. The parasites at the TOP of the social heap are the parasites that you must worry about, for they are so extremely voracious that their feeding frenzy on the host (you, dear readers collectively) will ultimately destroy the host.

Your fat cat parasites cannot be compared to the “robber barons” of the past. The robber barons of the past filled their bellies while building up the nation and causing a rising tide for everyone to enjoy a higher standard of living. In contrast, the fat cat parasites of today are flourishing big time, while you, dear friends, are withering and actually dying off LITERALLY! Just look to the changing demographics of the country attributable in large part to what the SOB-fat-cats at the top have been up to in this nation.

Think about it. The monster [mentality] is at the pinnacle of power.
