  1. An interesting question - Will Money or People Rule Our Country? I believe you will find the answer in history. The US has always been an imperial plutocracy. The people were never allowed into the first Constitutional Convention; only the “Founding Fathers” has a say in the constitution. Most of the population wasn’t even considered in the Constitution; remember; only property owners could vote. Instead of the imagery of George Washington that invokes childish memories, you need to consider a man who slaughtered Native Americans and then grew wealthy by selling their land. Some say Washington was the wealthiest man in the US. And after you are finished with the Native American wars that were sold to the people by the plutocrats as Manifest Destiny; and Mexican wars for profit, you should consider the expansion of US foreign imperialism. Major General Smedley Butler explains in his book, “War is a Racket”, that he was just muscle for the Wall Street mafia invading three continents to profit US plutocrats. You need to stop believing this Hollywood farce intentionally designed to deceive, and start looking at actual history books. Maybe you could start with Howard Zinn and expand your knowledge from there. What I believe people hate about Trump is his overt and petulant criminal actions. With these actions he is exposing the reality of US politics and that appears to have angered some plutocrats. After all, the last thing the plutocrats need is people awaking to the scam. Politicians like Obama were much subtler in their approach and therefore more acceptable to the many. When Obama used the phrase, “We tortured some folks”, this folksy expression made it acceptable to many with flexible morals. But Trump is too overt; he shoves the criminality and the reality down your throat and when people want to eat the burger, that doesn't mean they want to meet the cow. The plutocrats have learned long ago that the easiest slave to control is one who actually believes they are exceptional and free. So one thing you must learn to understand US politics – democracy has always been a farce. The plutocrats own both the Democrats and the Republicans and the reason for the existence of the Democratic Party and the DNC is to ensure a real progressive never takes power.
