There's no argument that big business has been buying political power for decades. So whatever condition our countries are in, big business has to carry some of the blame. Obama was meant to change things and was blocked many times by politicians. This happens here with the EU. It's most certainly the cause of the last banking crisis. And other crisis.

Mass migration benefits the top 1%, and they will fight to keep people coming. When a few amendments to a few laws would force changes.

The wholesale transference of jobs to the Third World has benefitted he 1% the most.

With the US, healthcare is proof of how the system works in favour of big business.

The EU clearly favours big business.

By the US and EU passing laws making tax havens, like the Caymans, a thing of the past. Is easy. It only needs to ban the passing of profits to offices which are little more than a few people illegal.

The Republicans will lose because none of the candidates can come up with a believable program of how to fix the economy. And Sanders won't tax most of his voters by very much. Whether mass migration makes their lot worse, is undeniable. If he gives migrants the vote, expect the Republicans to lose more elections. I say this as a native Brit where it's easy to see who migrants vote for.
