respectfully disagree
I cannot imagine the 'actual 1%" of, remember, 3 million people, is the antitax monolith like you make them out to be due to sheer size of population location occupation and all the differentiating factors
dont forget there are plenty, plenty of 1 percenters on the democrats side and plenty openly want to raise taxes to get universal healthcare if sanders campaign showed anything

and again no group of them even 30 or 40 of them is going to have the mass cash to hire a firm and run blitzes of attack ads like a single koch brother can all over a state

AYRT
Yes, there are plenty of 1%ers who are Democrats. No group is a monolith; I'm talking about trends. My uncle was actually a Democrat until Trump, as he has personal ties to him. (And think about celebrities who tend to be Democrats and can balance out at least a little of the pro-business millionaires.)

And yes, no single individual can run tons of attack ads, but that is what groups are for. And 100k 1%ers donating to a group that runs attack ads is going to have way more impact than 100k of the bottom 10% who likely can't donate anything.

I'm not saying anyone one individual of the 1% can buy an election or swing the tide of an election. I'm saying that as a group they have way more political influence than the bottom, let's say, 50% of the country.

for posting in a thread about pedantry you are streeeeetching the definition of what I am saying
99 percent of 1 percenters do not buy elections and do not buy politics. you literally said one individual of the 1 percent cannot buy an election. that is the same thing i am saying
the people I have a gripe with arent saying that small business owners have more sway in politics than a homeless person. by saying the 1 percent buy elections they are saying that small business owners, as a category of person, buy elections and politics and are in the same category as koch and that is untrue and inaccurate
if they said what you are saying i would not disagree. but they are not saying that. hence pedantic griping.
