Lori Cataldi - This why we have to refocus our energy. Our efforts are wasted when
we try to do reforms of any kind, because those reforms will always be
dismantled. Instead of changing a myriad of different laws trying to
combat undue influence, there are only two simple rules that must be
placed into law. First in an Annual Income Cap, the second is an
Accumulated Wealth Cap.
It is vast wealth in the hands of individuals which is the root cause of
all our woes and the dysfunction of wealth inequality in our worldwide
collective societies. Vast wealth is the toolkit used to dismantle all
reforms put into law, and the one glaring example I will put forward is
FDR's New Deal. In the decades since the New Deal, the wielders of vast
wealth have been dismantling the New Deal piece by piece. Now the New
Deal is gone, destroyed. This happens to every law, every reform ever
put in place to protect the majority.
There is a simple guide as to what the caps should be. By all means,
earn your millions until you have enough for you and your family to live
in the utmost of luxury for a lifetime. Beyond that point, return
everything you earn back to the society that helped you create the
wealth in the first place. No one makes millions in a vacuum, everyone
who does so has the help of the entire society of human beings . . .
every millionaire made is a joint venture with society.
I'm 57 years old and my eldest daughter is 30 years old. Between us we
have the life experiences of our generations. We did a "thought
experiment" to ascertain what the income and wealth limits should be.
Her ideas encompassed more than my own, so we generally went with her
numbers. I would like to see more of us doing such "thought experiments"
so we can come up with a consensus that will make an annual income and
accumulated wealth cap palatable to the majority.
Do these two things and all dark money political contributions evaporate
down to a level where the will of the few no longer dominates the will
of the many. We already know excessive wealth beyond what is needed to
live a life of utmost luxury is mostly then used to exert power over the
powerless.

Focus, focus, focus people. . . this is all smokescreen while they run out the clock on their long game. Think about it, wages have not gone up but GDP has doubled - that is the most massive theft of capital from the American working people ever pulled off. The same group that pulled this heist also had their taxes cut by 55% while most of us are paying more. Banks have successfully financialized the economy to the point they can rake 20% off the top. The medical industry has been successfully financialized to the point where insurance companies can rake 20% off the top there too. The list is growing longer every day. This is an extraction economy meant to be as punitive as possible and it almost has the power to topple our government and society.
All of this was done legally through our system of laws, and that is how it is undone. They are not finished with their plan and they still have to follow the rule of law, as laid out in the Constitution, in order to get their way. This also the way we stop them, by using the Constitution as a weapon against them, while there is still time to do so.
All this quibbling I see here in the comment section is getting us nowhere. We need to act, but first "We the People" need to fully understand what is happening to us, and how those behind this plot to take us down are accomplishing their plan. That is the key to undoing what they have done, and the key to creating a better future for ourselves.
