 Good lord. I referred to no "starting point". Here's what I said - that you think "70 years" is the most important thing to take out of what I said - let alone falsely changing it to different meanings - is simply amazing

"Oh - and those people are no longer in the parks, they are in places like ... the halls of Congress today. Getting 400,000 people to withdraw money from big banks with bad practices in favor of credit unions last month. Getting the conversation changed from the false Republican "fix the deficit" nonsense, to the reality of income inequality and the nasty influence, over the past 70 years, of money in our politics." |
No the important point is that you cant get money out of politics or really anything for that matter. You can pass laws till you are blue in the face but money is going to always be a major factor unless you live in fantasyland. There is no greater place than horse racing to see that people will do things for money regardless of how much they already have or how little they need more. Multipy that by 1000 and you have modern politics.
