    this is just more argument for billionaires being worse than the government. remove moneyed interests and you’ll have a functioning government beholden to the people.

      Government never has and never will be beholden to the people. When we put someone in a position of power, we become beholden to them. The whole idea that the people consent to being governed is ridiculous because we’re never given the option to vote against having a government.
