Below is a well researched article by Matt Taibbi. Taibbi is a very prolific writer for Rolling Stone. Although RS is a far to the left mag, Taibbi's writing style is compelling and brutally blunt. This article is less "political", i.e. doesn't bash or support any particular ideology.... rather it reveals in painful depth and detail how our country has been hijacked by ruthless and very greedy powerbrokers who don't give a damn about anything but their next megamillion dollar deposit. This will sicken you with a sense of powerlessness and rage.
