What this tells me is a minority of Jews have too much of a voice in U S of A politics. 320 million citizens having to bow to 5 million jews is insane. Without a media that is owned by the Jewish community this couldent happen.
U.S. Presbyterians and Episcopaleans are well represented in the halls of power, but together are just a little over the Jewish population. The fact is that Jews have a willingness to risk capital, while many Gentiles, educated though they might be, often just like to have cushy jobs with nice corner offices, in my opinion. All Gentiles have to do to effect more power is to act more Jewish, and be willing to risk capital.
By the way, power might not have to do with pure numbers. It might have to do with who came to the U.S. first, and didn't spend three generations chasing cushy civil service jobs. Meaning, you might be claiming that Gentiles that came here in the latter half of the 19th century deserve power, due to their great number. That is not how a capitalistic society works. No birthright for being of the majority ethnicity.
But, if you are not aware, many of the Gentiles in positions of power find Jews a better resource than other Gentiles of lower classes, since Jews work for the system that keeps those Gentiles in power. They (powerful Gentiles) know that many Gentiles would like to be the big cheese, and therefore trust a Jew more to be part of his organization. Don't believe me. Oh yes, there is also the alienation towards Catholicism that makes some WASP's just have superficial friendships with Catholics. In effect, Jews are a neutral resource in a balkanized society. What's good for American Jews might just be good for American upper-class WASP's.
I am quite familiar with the view you voiced. I have known many who expressed the same view ("Jews have a disproportionate amount of influence, for their small numbers"). That view just wants a society that is not diverse, and Jews being successful are a threat to those that would like to move up in society, and therefore feel that Jews are "outsiders." I personally feel that in a technological society, where the educated entrepreneur is the successful citizen, oftentimes, the under-educated, and unambitious, are the outsiders. But, you have your views. Many would rally around your views tomorrow, since there are many that cannot accept their own limitations when faced with competency.
