You didn't find any to be a problem needing fixing.A shrinking middle class is a problem. Studies show that as the middle class in a country shrinks, democracy is diminished. Excessive wealth concentrated in fewer hands leads to less democracy as wealth is used to buy political policies (consider A.L.E.C.). Wealth concentrated in fewer hands means less revenue available for governmental functions like infrastructure maintenance, so in response the rich and their party calls for elimination of programs needed by people so more is available for the greedy rich. Wealth accumulation leads to oligarchy and diminishing tolerance by police. We know that grocery store chains typically charge higher prices in poverty areas. Icreasing income and wealth inequality means poorer nutrition for everyone but the rich who can pay the highest prices for the best foods and chefs to select and prepare it. And finally increasing financial inequality means shrinking opportunities for the people as they can afford less and less, like a higher education for example.Good. Let me give you an earfull. Maybe it will take just a tiny bit longer for it to trickle out the other ear as you forget. Money in politics means the buying of politics, but you want to pretend you don't know this. And free speech? I never mentioned free speech. I'm all in favor of anyone speaking all he wants about whatever suits him. There's no connection to money.OH!!! BUT YOU WANT TO PRETEND THAT MONEY IS SPEECH???? Money is a medium of exchange. Speech is expression. Speech cannot pay the bills and money is used to purchase things, like political power. The S. C. was wrong in saying money is speech. VERY obviously it is not speech.
