The Ruling Class. The behind the scenes puppet masters pulling the strings of the Democrats/Republicans. Not giving a damn about what those bastards in Congress or the Judiciary or the White House do to the nation as long their interests are not messed with. Paying off the politicos with campaign contributions or six figure jobs when they leave government "service" -- as long as they do their bidding while in office.
Someone needs to pry the lid off that Carlyle Group and see what exactly is going on with that.
