: we may have a second civil war. The peasants (the 99%) are fed up with a political system that caters only to the wealthy. We are pretty much an oligarchy. We need to restore a system that is OF, FOR, and BY the people. If it doesn't happen at the ballot box, it will happen on the battlefield. And yes, those in power are worried. End of rant.

Money can buy elections, but it will only go so far. We've seen millionaires pour vast amounts into candidates or propositions, but if the subject is obnoxious enough, the public has voted them down. Just ask "Governor" Meg Whitman.
