> That's what the rich want, and since they largely control Congress, that's what they get.

Your argument isn't self-consistent. You're arguing both that:

1. the federal government is a competent force for good and should be strengthened.

2. the federal government is corrupt and controlled by the rich.

The only way this is a consistent argument is if you're a plutocrat.

The Federal government CAN be a force for good and should be strengthened, but it also suffers from corruption and outsized influence from the rich.

Por que no los dos?
