Wealth=Power?
In the past couple weeks we had many discussions that involved "Assault by Reason" by Algore. In Algore's essay he talks about how the wealthy have more power. I believe in this. For example Jennifer Aniston would have more say on a topic than me. This is because she is well known and she has the money to make a commercial etc. She would automatically influence people because of her wealth and social standing even if I had more knowledge about the subject.

What about people like Perez Hilton? He made himself be heard. He wasn't wealthy or famous before hand. He forced his opinions on people and made sure his voice was heard.
Don't you think that if we all did that, we'd be heard too?
I think the part about Jennifer Aniston is true. Just about anyone with money can get followers.
