Saying that the government rules over you is like saying that a baron is the king, which would show a remarkable lack of insight.

  Ah so you mean the government is the “baron” and its constituents are the “king”, such is the nature of democracy. Very thoughtful!

    No. I agree with Chomsky's analysis that politicians are largely bought by wealthy entities, and ultimately that means they work for banks. Hence, messing with banks gets you in a lot of trouble, but when banks mess up it's also we constituents that are in a lot of trouble. I don't agree with Chomsky's prescription for dealing with this problem as I'm not a socialist.
