Oh, and they hired ex-Senator Judd Greg as a "special advisor" to make sure that Republicans in Congress keep kissing the right asses.

It is a marked trend that has substantially escalated the last decade. Not only are the rich getting richer, everyone else is getting poorer and the more money that the biggest corporations rake in, the less they pay out to everyone else. The table scraps from the elite are getting smaller.
