Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
I don’t think we will see a response until the majority of the public gets angry enough to act. We need to reach the, “Have them eat cake,” moment. When we hit that point of disconnect and answering public outrage at the system then we might have change. I worry it will result in violence.
