Well we do AGREE BIG TIME about the dangers posed by increased wealth in the hands of ONLY a small % of the people. That is the very definition of a Putin-like dictatorship. when America was REALLY GREAT (after WW2 til 1975) the rich were taxed with tax brackets such that a top-heavy (dictatorship in waiting) elite class would NOT EMERGE. Today , unfortunately, they have EMERGED.......we are screwed, blued, and tattooed !
.......The cost and flaunting of money and power of advertisements and TV and entertainment and celebrities at the Super Bowl would probably approximately equate favorably with the pomp and ceremony associated with the Roman Coliseum somewhat before the fall of THEIR empire.
