Corporate lobbying is collapsing the current system - can't end well. Anyone can see it.

Whoever voted No must be living in some sort of bubble.

The entire basis of Scaramucci's argument comes down to "I'm a rich guy but I'm responsible & objective, so therefore money in politics in general isn't that big of an issue." Immediately after such an obviously faulty & deluded argument, he goes on to proclaim that he sees the world "as it really it" rather than "as it should be". After this claim to "realism", Scaramucci makes broad sweeping statements about how corporations SHOULD become more socially responsible. What a convoluted line of logic.

"As income inequality rises, is money politics undermining democracy?"
Gosh. Couldnt DAVOS come up with a smarter question than that? Congress would say yes, of course it is! Democracy --thanks to Congress and the SCt (see, e.g., Citizens United) --are in a death embrace with money politics. -
This was an excellent topic, the problem is non of these guys knows what they are talking about except maybe Scaramucci as he has a clue to a degree. Anyone who truly understands money will never be working in a university for any education fund.
The problem is the subject of money is not taught in schools because teachers who can teach it would never take jobs at such poor salaries. In politics, it is simple, finance controls everything, politics is just a front for finance.
