"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives." — Malcolm X

Apparently poor people starving while rich people have 2 yachts is less morally wrong than 👻Taxing the Rich👻
Yes... The solution to lobbying and citizen's united is to get rid of them... I was merely saying that was the locus of their power and that taking their money via civic means doesn't somehow give them power. Also, the flight of wealthy people narrative never pans out when tested.
