I thought my reader(s) might find this amusing. To me it is an effective way of summarizing why our government is the way it is (focused on the care and feeding of the oligarchy). I doubt any reform such as outlined by the author is feasible (because it is anti-oligarchy), but it is a pleasant fantasy to think that such a relatively trivial change could lead to such a dramatic shift in how our government works.
