"What most people fail to understand is that feudalism never really ceased to exist. It merely altered its arena of activity and changed its methods of domination. By overtly abandoning politics and covertly dominating economics, our wealthy overlords may now purchase their power with currency rather than take it with military force. Through their ownership of the media, the wealthy elite can manipulate large populations and firmly implant the illusion that individual citizens still have a say in the making of political decisions. In reality, wealthy minorities exert immense influence over the political process itself through their ownership and control of the resources that today’s candidate for office needs in order to finance the astronomical expense of running for election. Only candidates from the ranks of the economically privileged or those whose compliance can be bought through economic coercion can successfully compete in our current political arena. The accumulation of great wealth in the hands of elite families and large corporations is one of the greatest threats to true democracy...
Don’t bother looking for genius and creative innovation among the wealthy. In a society where the major resources and means of production are in the hands of an economically privileged ruling-class, the attainment of wealth becomes merely the reward for conservatism and obedient compliance or successful criminal enterprise. This is why the rich hold no interest for me, other than as a danger to our liberty. They are typically dull, boring, or corrupt. I have found few exceptions to this observation..."--The Marquis (William Max Miller) 8/4/07
