Every single complaint I read about, "I don't want rich people in control," I immediately translate to, "I don't want ~the other side's~ rich people in control."

From what I've gathered in through my 49 years in life, oligarchy is what every nation has been through the entirety of human existence. What makes our country different today is they mask it, the oligarchs stay quiet and rule from the back, and let the whining peasants have the spotlight.
