The Trump Administration Is a Government of Billionaires and Their Sycophants @alternet: The GOP lackeys are eager to do the bidding of whichever oligarch will give them the most money. A few years back, former President Jimmy Carter told me that, because of Citizens United and its predecessors (like the Buckley decision in 1976), we’re no longer a democracy, but instead, “an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery.”For proof that Carter was right, one need look no further than Mike Pompeo taking Rex Tillerson’s job, stepping into Thomas Jefferson’s shoes as Secretary of State.
