The real problem is that banks, the 0.01%, and megacorporations have effective rights and representation in government, but the people, as in the Spanish word “pueblo” do not.

Short of eliminating FPP voting and overhauling campaign finance and government-industry revolving doors, (which we should do but will not because the current issues are a feature, not a bug, for the people in control) we need some kind of a people’s mega-PAC to wield effective power in the government and restore some sense of actual democratic control.
