The distribution of wealth to the very few, and the condition of near poverty to the masses, will force fundamental reform and change -- changes in our economic, social, political, and legal structures.

Our culture of greed ... our focus on achieving wealth at all costs, our system of bought politicians, has produced an elite class having obscene wealth, and doomed the masses to poverty, or near poverty.

Many think we are headed back to Plutocracy in this country. Rule by the super-rich.

Many more think we're already there.
