I do not see that the fact that councillors are nasty even though they are not billionaires is really relevant. When and if they make enough money they too will be able to buy their way into more power.

I have no disagreement that money runs everything..... and, like all astute politicians, they will hop on the gravy train when available.. Even though you suggested to include billionaires in this exchange, and although I did not imply that councillors are nasty, I'm not sure what we are arguing about. I am implying that billionaires are not necessarily guilty about the status quo of the human condition any more than others, but that all of us, including billionaires, share some responsibility for the way we do things a a species.
