Hasn't it always been this way, through deliberate design?  With the possible exception of the Jacksonian era, there hasn't been a period in American history when the elites haven't controlled the political life of this country.  It's worth remembering who were present at the continental congresses, and who helped shape the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States -the elites of each of the 13 original colonies.

With Citizens United and public sector unions possibly on the way out, just how massive will the GOP's fundraising advantage be?

Almost insurmountable.  But I will be glad to see myself proven wrong.
