This presidential election campaign word is being mentioned time and
again, and when it is candidates run in the other direction. The word
is the "establishment".
What is it? For this discussion, it is the existing political power structure
which governs. It is the dominant groups in our society, institutions who
control every aspect of import to them.
While the electorate gets one bite at the apple, on Election Day, the
establishment gets the remainder when it "takes charge".
to make sure the majority of the
$4 trillion spent by Congress and president each year passes through
its portal.
The establishment is not recognizable to the general public but well
known to the politicians who write laws, and the govt. regulators
that control what individuals and businesses are permitted to do.
Most elections the word establishment is never mentioned but in the
battle for the presidency several candidates are bringing this 'shadow
govt. to light. Even career politicians who travel in the same circle
with the establishment protest they are not!
