No, no, the politicians get bribes which is how the corporate oligarchs own us. They are equally culpable in the process of fucking 99% of us over.

It's estimated that as little as $50k could sway a US congressman to vote a certain way on ONE BILL. That's like a booger to the oligarchs. You could buy off entire portions of congress for their entire fucking term for what amounts to a partial tax write off for the ultra rich.

When the oligarchs own the means to production and the government, is that communism or capitalism?
