So? Just because something has always happened to some extent, we should have no problem with things that make it even worse?

But that’s my point. It’s no “worse” now than it was with (let’s say) a Joseph Kennedy Sr, or a Tammany Hall. It’s just that it’s reported more now, noticed more now in this digital 24/7 age

The same people (read; RICH) had the same influence back then as the same people (read: RICH ) have now

Do you think the people that attended the soirees at the Newport Rhode Island mansions during the gilded ages only talked about their tennis games?
