@BarackalypseThe Political families which run the government also own the major corporations and banks. One hand washes the other, it's called an oligarchy. Or have ever not noticed the Rockefellers have politicians in their family, the Bush's own a major bank and an oil company, the Qualyes own a pharmaceutical manufacturer, Al Gore is the major stakeholder in an oil company, etc, etc. Also almost all of the politicians are related to each other, John Kerry and G.W Bush are cousins after all.
