    Default Winters declares that America is already a civil oligarchy

    Winters declares that America is already a civil oligarchy. To use the language of recent political campaigns, our oligarchs try to rig the system to defend their wealth. They focus on lowering taxes and on reducing regulations that protect workers and citizens from corporate wrongdoing.

    They build a legal system that is skewed to work in their favor, so that their illegal behavior rarely gets punished. And they sustain all of this through a campaign finance and lobbying system that gives them undue influence over policy. In a civil oligarchy, these actions are sustained not at the barrel of the gun or by the word of one man, but through the rule of law.

    How does your response above compare to your previous response to evince?:

    FWIW, Wolverine is probably either a Legion or Teflon Don sock like Matt Dillon...who hasn't posted since 25NOV. He's not banned so that indicates he's busy posting as a sock. Personally, I ignore his posts as valueless.

    That is the problem. You cannot unify a nation if a large minority does not even want a democracy.
    No. They must pay first. No justice no peace. We are at war with Trumptards. They must be stomped. We have legitimate grievance for
    all the BS and damage they have and continue to do to the USA. Kiss the other cheek? Nyet, first they can kiss my other ass cheek.

    LOL, oh Lord. Rich people in their wealthy suburbs now talking about stomping people? You going out in the streets to fight now Micawber? Hey, props to you if that’s what you feel needs to be done but I’ll be laughing at you. Go kick a Bruin if you come across any. You get extra credit for that.

    ...he's not that rich.

    Agreed, people like him barely put their wine glasses down long enough to post on JPP much less get off their asses to stomp anything.

    Just more proof Trump doesn't have a monopoly on hate and pettiness.
