The interesting thing is, both the entrepreneurial moguls and the angry displaced American worker are seeking access to advantages that, if gained, have the potential of guiding us into tyranny.
I tend to gravitate towards the more progressive spectrum of the political divide because what I see in my own practice is that not only are the substantive rules of law being corrupted to serve the elite and very wealthy, but the procedural rules are being changed in manners that also tip the balance of power towards the very wealthy. I see this in a case I am trying in court at this very moment in which our corporate bankruptcy and business entity laws have allowed entrepreneurs to reap all the benefits of their investments without ever having to suffer any of the consequences of their bad decisions, nor their malicious and criminally motivated ones.
This whole phenomenon is made exponentially worse when these businesses can take both their ill-gotten and legitimate gains to further corrupt the political system by bankrolling those who would further bend the rules in their favor and keep them from suffering the consequences of their decisions.
Yet, it will be in an even uglier sight if the populist movement is so successful that it degrades into battles against certain religions, certain immigrants, and certain areas of the country. Such battles and depravity are inevitable unless the ruling class and elite are wise enough to relinquish their corporate socialism and their grip upon their privileged legal status and are required to bear their proportionate share of the burden and to suffer the consequences of both their bad and malicious decisions. They, like all, should rise based on merit alone. That isn’t what is happening today.
I understand and have affinity towards many of the ideas espoused by both Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump. But intent matters, diplomacy matters, civility matters, practicability matters, economics matter and the heart of the leader pursuing those goals matters.
