I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I'm reading Winners Take All [0] right now and it's explaining really well a lot of thing's that I've _felt_ or _thought_ but didn't _know_, if that makes sense.

American politics is driven by money, and at a certain point, no amount of money can push the powers-that-be to enact legislation that removes their advantage. It doesn't help that the folks who most _need_ political change are those with the least ability to affect meaningful change (because they're poor or otherwise disenfranchised).
