In nations where they don't have winner-take-all elections, the representatives are never able to hand out this much power to the wealthy, the businesses and the special interests to begin with.

It's like a good Hollywood movie where the villains are actually super villains, so when they become normal decent people at the end of the movie (or die miserably) we end up feeling good.

The happiest nations in the world do not have winner-take-all voting; they have the actual democracy in place, not the exclusive democracy we have here.

Your advice to vote Democratic is understandable, but you should be telling voters to get proportional voting in place wherever the US Constitution either allows that or demands that already.

Other than that, I am happy you wrote this article, Tony. You put some good perspectives on the situation in this nation and -in my words- how a sky-high Wall Street is indicative of a nation not having its priorities straight.
