And look at the Trump appointee and his hidden private  money throughout the world and close and continuing association with the Russian Oligarchy   So you have a high level appointee who intentionally dodges his tax obligation, through legal loophole given through congress, as head of commerce.  Could their be a more corrupt choice is favor of elite power?

Don't get too tied up in the ideology Walter.  Money drives the decision of both parties in many instances.  The Party calls fund raising critical to their survival, (probably true in today's campaign world).   But they might as well just put a gun to the head of the American public and steal our money  'honestly' like the real thugs they are.   Instead they bury their 'favors' to donors on page 99 of unrelated legislation  The Party sells out our public interest for Party profit and often personal profit from past and future work in the private world.
