It's like they created a rich people corruption club.

It is mind boggling how many rich people, organizations, corporations have joined together to rig our entire country. Trump has exposed all the corruption. When Trump was elected they all came running with their money, not thinking about the consequences.

The next 2 years are going to be very educational to say the least.

Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States" does a masterful job of highlighting this and it's ultimate effects throughout our countries history.

Grover Norquist
Rightwing billionaires
Federalist Society
ALEC
State Policy Network

These are the tools and organizations used to open our society up to control by rich people.
