Hell yes, anybody that says no is ignorant or just plain stupid..
Can't wait for someone to argue that they don't have too much power... Will be a real fun time.
Although ordinary citizens can vote in national elections, the candidates must have funding that is backed by organizations that are controlled by those with wealth. As such the choices are limited.
Do the wealthy have too much power in the United States?
Of course they do... and it has been that way throughout history. Wealth and political clout tend to go hand in hand, one way or another. Especially extreme wealth, as in the billionaires.
Like George Soros, to name one.

The wealthy have power proportional to their level of wealth. The non-wealthy have power proportional to their number. The wealthy currently have better organizational skills. This changes as balance of power skews. It's a bit like a pendulum in swing.

what the whine about the wealthy fail to understand is that the rich are not a monolithic force. For every free market "rich despite the government" type there is a "rich because of the government nanny-stater who cancels him out. People like the Kochs cancel out scum like Soros. its pretty much a wash

Absolutely we do!
We have the opportunity to use secret banks that pay us 1500% interest on our money without even having to deposit it. We have lunch with politicians who do our every bidding. If we want wages to go down we just drop a hint and BINGO, they secretly reduce wages by creating mysterious tax changes that only help us while screwing the poor. We have a secret internet that we use to communicate and we get emails every time some poor person gets a little uppity. It's a pretty cool gig when you get right down to it.

Much envy I sense in this one Master Yoda
Seduced by the jealous side of the force he has been Obi Wan
You can try to joke about the issue all you want, it's a simple fact that the wealthy have more power in regards to almost everything within this world. Tell me I'm wrong. Politics is just one example.
