America Run by the Rich for the Rich



The USA is run by the rich for the rich.  You need only look at the charts below to determine that.  35 presidents have been millionaires with the wealthiest currently in office.  Approximately 80% of the presidents.  If you want justice in America your going to have to shell out for a lawyer so even for an attempt at justice you'll have to have money. Lawyers also run America so why wouldn't you.  What is American about $ not justice.  Trump has not problem with your death as long as it benefits the economy.  He's proven that with 110K deaths as of today.   Still not convinced see the second table of 40 wealthiest members of Congress all mult-millionaires.  The latest numbers shows that the 113th Congress had a median net worth of $1,008,767. This is the first time in history that the majority of members are millionaires.  The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer.  America the land of inequality.
