Of course it does, only because most idiots in the country have no idea how to make any 'new money'Tweak Da Leak wrote:Wait BusinessMan you don't think 'old money' has any influence on world politics?
Employee your Olbermann's and Beck's are just as off the mark as Alex Jones.
Let me break it down for you a little differently.
Do you think the fact that Trademarks family is in the oil business had an influence on him entering that industry? Does it have any influence on you or me entering the same industry? Fuck no.
Would I be more likely and have a much easier time becoming an oil tycoon if my family already built up the assets and had a strong network of contacts? Of course, but does that make it impossible for me to become an oil tycoon at some point in the future? The answer to that question is what separates me from Wreck-It.
The government is a business. The country is a business. The fucking world is a business and once you see that, things start making much more sense.
Edit: In other words, it does to some degree, but I believe having motives that are aligned with those currently in power has a much stronger effect. (see: Ron Paul)
