Billionaires and corrupt politicians aren't human. Don't give them that.

Right... It's been on us, the regular people, for decades.... And we don't do shit. Most of us just buy the escapism they offer us to be distracted, as they continue to play the real game of life and build their empires.

Simply blaming the right or left, or the billionaires etc doesn't cut it... It's deeply engrained in our culture from birth.
