What Powers Do Billionaires Legitimately Have Over Us?

As we all know, there are greedy and selfish people in this world of ours, and these are certainly not virtuous traits.

Yet, trying to be fair, people have the right to live by their own wits.  If you’re Ebeneezer Scrooge, you’re eventually going to come to some epiphany and turn yourself around morally or pay a considerable price in terms of your mental/physical health.

But what we all must object to is corruption–the use of money to buy preferable treatment, e.g., favorable lawmaking from congress.

And now, for the first time in U.S. history, we have the grand master of all sorts of corruption, the purchase of presidential pardons.

Nobody could have possibly seen this coming.
