5. That's so xenophobic! Besides, the promise of America belongs to all billionaires

no matter what part of the world they come from or whose military they steal secrets for. If you haven't made the Forbes list, maybe YOU'RE the one who's trespassing here? Besides why would we want unsuccessful people influencing our elections when there's a world of entrepreneurial success stories out there who we can learn from?

8. corporate meddling
I'm not sure that we have more to fear from foreign corporations.It seems to me we have plenty to fear from our own.Now we can join the rest of the world, who have lived in fear of corporate America for decades.
