The running of the rich: Is wealth changing Connecticut politics? - StamfordAdvocate.
I commend this to your attention. I'm assuming the situation in California is pretty similar.
Whose interests do we think these candidates are going to be looking out for? What's in it for them?
It is difficult to imagine any of them as elected officials, and what sorts of policies they'd be promoting.
Keep in mind how concentrated our nation's wealth is already, and think about whether you'd anticipate that any of these candidates would be likely to make any moves which might reduce that concentration of wealth and power even a little, or whether their policies would be more likely to favor people of their own economic class with further privileges and advantages, to the detriment of the other 95% of us.
