The Racket

Writes Bill Madden:
I quite often blame some of our richest families for the problems that our country causes other countries (currently Iran and Venezuela) and the American taxpayers (the many corporate bailouts, foreign aid, wars for profit, exorbitant welfare for anyone, etc.).
.
The reference book agrees with my thoughts and discusses actual cases which should help others understand the reasons for my perspective. It should be logical that the richest families have the most to lose if our country is mismanaged. Likewise, these rich families will almost always put their best interests in first place when legislative priorities are considered. Sometimes, of course, winning for them means losing for us and that is with what I disagree.
