More about Capitalism?

What we've discovered about American Capitalists is their penchant for buying politicians. The politicians don't try to hide the fact that they have been bought and of course capitalists are prone to brag about the things and the people they own. The Koch Brothers, for example, pledged $889 Million during the 2016 election cycle according to the NY Times. The Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell had to pass because their donors wanted it.

The bill will of course profit the capitalist class by allow them to pay less of the cost of governing and
public infrastructure.

How much less? The shortfall  is estimated to be over a Trillion Dollars in the next ten years.
Of course capitalists need roads and bridges as much as you and I do so can you guess who is expected to take
care of the shortfall? You, me, and our children, that's who. Yes, our children because that trillion dollar shortfall
will be paid for by government borrowing that you and I will pay back with interest. How long do you think it will 
take the us to pay that back? It will be left for our children for sure.

Guess who we borrow from? Capitalist bankers who have extra to lend because they don't pay it out in taxes, 
that's who. It almost seems like a scam, doesn't it? The people who have the most pay less and those with less 
pay more.
