Power

We live in a nation where one voter makes $500,000,000 a year and another voter makes $50,000 a year. That imbalance of power makes us an oligarchy. 

There are worse forms of government. A dictatorship is worse. Compared to a dictatorship, an oligarchy is somewhat less apt to suffer from a personality disorder. 

I will vote for anyone the Democrats nominate. But what we need today is a broadly based system, one in which ordinary people are better represented in government. As I see it, the major candidate most committed to making structural changes is Bernie Sanders. This is our best chance to democratize the country since the end of the New Deal.
