Fiction? It sounds like a roman à clef about the Obama campaign.

Populist fantasy? Does the writer know what populist means? It sounds like the opposite of populist.

No. As you go through year after year, as many civic advocates do, being overwhelmed by the corporate lobbies and their allies in government, you say to yourself, 'If we only had more media, if we only...

If only you had a point.

His latest book, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!, is a 700-page populist fantasy in which a small group of billionaires and media moguls — led by Warren Buffett and including Ted Turner, George Soros, Bill Cosby, Yoko Ono and Phil Donahue — pool their massive resources to reform the U.S. With the help of a $15 billion war chest and a p.r. campaign starring a talking parrot, the group successfully unionizes Walmart, ends corporate influence on Congress, makes Warren Beatty the governor of California and legalizes industrial hemp.

I'll call it "Atlas Picked Up Even More"

It will be like Atlas Shrugged with Wesley Mouch shown as the hero.

Maybe those super rich can limit themselves to saving the people who want to be “saved” without seeking tax money from everyone else to do it.

I’d be quite satisfied if conservative super rich could give me a means of earning my own salvation. (Also without taxpayer dollars)

Yeah, right!!!!

The only interest the super wealthy have is to remain SUPER WEALTHY and keep the power that comes with that wealth.

If only the super rich can save us, I guess we won’t be saved. BO isn’t leaving any.
