The people with enough wealth and power to buy the government CREATED the US government in the first place. James Madison, founding "father" and 5th POTUS explicitly stated in the Federalist Papers that the purpose of government was to protect the opulent minority from the majority. The idea there could ever be anything but crony capitalism and anything except government run by the richest capitalists is literally contradictory and illogical.
George Washington was also the richest person in the country with the highest number (or close to it, im not sure off the top of my head) of slaves. It's been """"crony"""" capitalism this whole time going back before the revolution.
Wasn't he like constantly fucking broke and asking for loans because he was constantly burning money on dumb shit even with having a whole aristocratic slave estate propping up his opulent lifestyle to the point he had to ask to borrow money to go to his inauguration? Or am I thinking of someone else altogether?
Was a shit general too
