Greed, corruption, and collusion often go hand in hand with wealthy people. Read the origin story of M.Zuckerding of Facebook and see a TRUE SLEAZE IN OPERATION.(or watch the movie). Recently the Disney CEO impressed me.
...........please say that you agree with my saying that a strong country needs a strong middle class. And I PROVED how the middle class is being weakened over time by changes in the tax brackets. EVERYONE agrees with me that a 20-year-old today will NOT expect future generations to be better off. Our generation was one of the last to expect future generational improvement. The US has regressed since 1950!

The oil companies are "being paid"? Please show me who's paying them and exactly how much the check is for...
You sound like the Congressional Bartender, who claimed Amazon was being given money to open a facility in her district. The deal gave some tax incentives (no actual payments), but the tax revenue from the business and the people working there would have dwarfed the tax breaks (which were NEVER int the form of payment)...
But, since she worked so hard to block the deal, her district got ZERO jobs, ZERO increase in tax revenue, NOTHING...
VA received all of the benefits, from the thousands of new jobs, the $millions in increased tax revenues and the additional businesses that will open to support the new Amazon facility...
Sucks for Harlem, great for Crystal City, VA...
