Linear logic. If you adjust or change law to make it easier for a person to amass a fortune, then you will not only have MORE millionaires and billionaires, but a LOT MORE MONEY for them to play with.
It is in the best self interest of a moneyed person to preserve their money. Thus, they will contribute to politicians who promise to help them preserve their money.
Some things are not that hard to predict are they?

The Supreme Court and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) | Washington Times Communities
The Supreme Court and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) | Washington Times Communities:
I believe that the issue we need to be concerned about, as citizens, relative to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is the expansion of the interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause of the constitution.
NOTE: IMO the Interstate Commerce Clause has been horribly misused over the decades and is the result of "legislative and judicial creep".
And that is the best argument for the repeal of the act, from a layman's point of view. A complete redraft of the act (affordable health care) should be undertaken and specific attention paid to accomplishing it's objective without use of the Interstate Commerce Clause of the constitution.
If you MUST go down the path of WHO should pay for healthcare (and I believe this is a completely different topic of discussion), I would suggest you have to go all the way back to the mid to late 1960's and our buy in to the "great society".
However, I believe that the greatest threat to our freedom's as citizens is in the expansion of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
Understand, the issue before the Supreme Court is completely out of our hands, so pay no attention to the pleads to sign this or that petition to the Supreme Court, because they will have no effect. The Justices are not elected political figures and their job is to interpret the constitution.
There are some brilliant public servants in the government, and so beware legislative creep. It will almost always be buried in some obscure bill as an amendment, or in some highly emotionally charged bill the intent of which is not even remotely related to the creep which will further limit our freedoms.
It is a shame no one reads this blog. What I've just said is, in fact, actually quite important.
