It’s headlined: “Meet the 50 Mega-donors pumping $1.5 billion into the election.” Meanwhile, in one of his posts, Robert Reich calls attention to an heir to the Mellon fortune, who is pumping $115 million into the Trump campaign. We may have reached the point where our form of government is more aptly described as a plutocracy than a democracy.
