Welcome to the New Feudalism.
More to the point, this reminds us why allowing so much wealth to be consolidated into the hands of a small number of people is antithetical to the functioning of a liberal democracy. We can have an oligarchy or we can have representative self-governance, but we can't have both, and it is a sign of the failure of our policy establishment to grasp this simple concept, and to correct it for the benefit of the commonweal. Then again, this assumes that they actually care about us, not just for our votes.
