It’s absolutely sickening that we’ve allowed this to happen. The dickriders of these mega wealthy make me sick the way they gargle their balls. It oughtta be illegal, and I’m sooo disappointed that no one’s targeting the REAL problem, which is that we allow a small handful of people to have ALL the money, and ALL the power.
