Pie in the sky deep thinking at The Week:

Ralph Nader is right: We need a billionaire presidential candidate

Featuring a photo of Oprah Winfrey?

Jon Terbush is riffing on Nader’s suggestion that “modestly enlightened rich people” could make ideal political leaders, which sounds suspiciously like Plato’s Republic, which even Plato knew couldn’t possibly work as a political system.

The conclusion:

I would say, yes, while pointing out that rich guys have already served as president, with mixed results. How about changing the “money-saturated system” to correct abuses?

Naah. Too hard.

Nader’s master plan is the plot from Van Damme’s “Time Cop”?
