No one is talking about banning success here. Quite the opposite. What I'm talking about is preventing the successful from denying the success of others. In baby-talk: buying a nice car is okay. buying a nice house is okay. buying a law that makes you exempt from having to do something other people (who can't buy laws) have to do is NOT okay.

Let me give YOU some baby talk.
No one is prevented from being successful if they have the work ethic and/or intelligence to back it up. No one can BUY laws. EVERYONE have the right to influence people monetarily or otherwise to politically campaign for them. It is NOT illegal or immoral to do something just because there are a few losers who are not able to also do it unless they put some work in.
