Plutocracy or 2010 Midterm Election Results

I guess that title is a bit misleading.  We've been seriously heading for a Plutocracy ever since Reagan deregulated everything in the 80s.  It's not just caused by this election cycle.

However, it's at a quicker pace now that people are voting for it.

So nice to read that someone else has these same thoughts. I also believe the hateful partisanship started with when Reagan was in office a la Newt Gingrich.

I think you're right, Anne. No, you're definitely not alone. There are many of us that feel this way. I googled Plutocracy, because I wanted some sort of image to post here. I found the cartoon at Permaculture Politics, which looks like a thoughtful site. http://permaculturepolitics.blogspot.com/2010/01/plutocracy-kleptocracy.html
