After all we all have different priorities. While some measure their worth by the amount of capital they own, others measure their worth by their value to making lives better for the masses.

What we all abhor is what politicians have allowed many of the wealthy to do. Basically, they have allowed them to extract the wealth of the entire country. In effect they have allowed a few to take the country’s natural resources and return little of the profits from those resources to the country’s coffers and infrastructure.

The results are visible to us all, a failing educational system, a decaying infrastructure, and a safety net (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc) in peril.
