I stopped reading that article when: "Proposals that are supported up and down the income spectrum have a better chance of being enacted than policies that do not have such support. To that extent, democracy is working." Refactored: 'The poor have little influence, unless they agree with the rich. Democracy works in that case.' Ok, that's probably the most blatantly dumb thing i've read in a while. Also: YES! Ofc the American system isn't working. It sucks that once again (as humans) we're at the same place we always end up - power, corruption & escalating crap. Hopefully we've learnt the lesson this time?
