who all seem to think money confers omniscience and ultimate wisdom. It does neither. It just makes them greedier.

When we are rinally rid of this bunch, and we will be, one thing we will need to guard against in the future is the rise of another plutocracy. They are all the same and they all tend strongly toward totalitarianism.

Not all rich men are inherently evil. The ones who sit and plot and buy politicians are.
