You must be a Bernie supporter if you think the rich are running the country.

The guys with the big stakes in the big businesses. Nobody knows except those involved. You only hear about the "new money", "old money" keeps a low profile.
They work through the party to get favorable politicians and laws passed. The party is the liaison between the corporations and government
"Their" politicians then "appoint" people who pretty much work FOR the very people they're regulating. Bankers regulate banking, securities people the bond/stock market. Drug executives regulate drugs.
It's the appointed people and high up officials who make/enforce the regulations that pretty much enslave us to their will. Fight the IRS, the EPA, SEC, HUD, whatever, they make "laws" that we have to follow and they weren't elected.
The president is mostly a talking head with a few pet peeves they want to and for the most part, get to fix. As long as it doesn't get in the way of the important issues.
