Don’t piss and moan at me

be proactive and write your legislators 

If not, then you’re not part of the solution

Who said I’m fine with it.

The snarky tone of your response sure hinted at you being fine with it enough.

it’s a reality.  You can choose to accept it or not.  

So, people should just accept it because that is the it's done now instead of wanting a change for the better that benefits everyone instead of a greedy billionaire?

If I remember correctly,  I suggested you write your legislator. 

A legislator is someone who can create a shift in policy.  I would imagine that's what you mean by change.

the country worships and serves the rich and grovels for crumbs from the table....and we should be grateful when some of the crumbs trickle down to us. but if they don't...serves us right for not being as awesome and rich as the billionaire gods.

Side note.  Have you seen the series Altered Carbon?  If not, you should.

Many of our elected legislators sit on Twitter all hours of the day and evening wasting keystrokes on nonsense and blocking their constituents. The current american political process overall is joke status. It's ridiculous to put the onus on average citizens to make sure billionaires are not treating American government dollars like their own personal piggy bank. If you want to carry water for billionaires it is within your rights but just own it if that's what you're going to do.

we don't stand a chance against $$$$$. send letters, emails, tweets, call them, whatever...they don't look at that stuff. they hire people to "take care" of it so they don't have to. 

both parties have one goal...load up on cash and stuff the election war chests. 

[Call Me James]

Vote for poor candidates and expect good results lol

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Change ... lol.

The 1st season is the best anyway.

See. You understand reality and that was my point.

someone mentioned wanting change and “ I shouldn’t accept the way it is” blah blah blah

well you can start with a letter

quite a frivolous quest indeed, but nonetheless it may do more than trying to make accusatory statements on how I’m conspiring with billionaires to take away money that could have been used for the greater good and remodel the piggly wiggly.

So it's in the realm of possibility that our small voices could be heard?

I made a suggestion for the route if someone really wanted to make the effort as opposed to complaining about how things are and the way they believe things ought to be.

I mean... I am going to assume you've made purchases before, and I'd be willing to bet some of those purchases cam from stores who've made a few people billionaires.  We all have a hand in it whether you choose to agree or not, but it is what it is. It's unfortunate, but I don't think I need to remind anyone the US is the epitome of a mixed economy.
