When a rich person makes a joke, everyone laughs and usually the rich person looks pleased with themselves - As though they think that their joke was actually funny.<p>You would think that rich people would actively try to surround themselves with people who don&#x27;t laugh at their jokes and who aren&#x27;t afraid to attack their character, but in reality, they don&#x27;t - After a few years, wealthy people genuinely start to think of themselves as being funny and they feel offended when people don&#x27;t laugh at their jokes. No wonder they feel increasingly isolated.<p>Those who can&#x27;t fake well enough get pushed away.

Politics <i>is</i> business. It&#x27;s always been this way.<p>For most of history, only the wealthy could vote, and all sorts of schemes were used to keep &quot;the poor&quot; from exercising any political power whatsoever, besides pitchforks and the guillotine of course.<p>As long as those whom become elected accept large sums of money from individuals whom expect as least some <i>quid pro quo</i> for their &quot;investment&quot;, I just can&#x27;t see how anyone is surprised that this is the system we get.<p>&quot;The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson<p>This issue has been forever with us.

I think &quot;Citizens United&quot; could be the end of the Republican Party.<p>Part of the reason why Trump has made it so big is that the Republican field is huge.<p>The Republican field is huge because a lot of donors with more money than brains are willing to shell out big money for their campaigns. Trump said that Super PACs are a scam, but I think most of the campaigns are scams. Raise a few million dollars and you can pay all your friends big salaries, then you can turn around and get a favor from them.

Krugman says that greater wealth leads to a lack of empathy.<p>Surely it&#x27;s a lack of empathy leads to greater wealth?
