The monied elites in America are an aristocracy of oligarchic power who are more entrenched in that power than at any other time in our history. They are all of a kind more or less than kin that America has endured since its inception as an alleged democratic nation, the kind of nation that chooses pseudo-members of the people now and again to refresh our naive conviction in a democracy; or that democracy can remain a government of the people by the people and for the people. Nonetheless, this member of the people realizes that that’s been a great lie, that there has only ever been government of the elites by the elites and for the elites who shall not perish from the earth.
