HELP I NEED A THESIS FOR THIS Frank Rich, an Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times, once wrote that "The contrary voices of Americans who have lost pay, jobs, homes and savings are either patronized or drowned out entirely by a political system where the banking lobby rules in both parties and the revolving door between finance and government never stops spinning."

Write an essay that argues your position on Rich’s claim that many Americans are at the mercy of a political system in which financial institutions have far too much influence.
