Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending.
Just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion.
This is not democracy. It is oligarchy.
Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.
Starting today, millionaires won't pay into Social Security for the rest of the year. Billionaires stopped paying the first day of 2024.
This is absurd.
If we make the wealthy pay their fair share, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand it by $2,400 a year.
Think about this.
The average billionaire on the Forbes 400 list could spend $10,000 every single day for 274 years and still have billions of dollars left in the bank.
Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, these guys should be paying more in income tax than a teacher?
It’s an illusion to think we can make any major progress in this country without getting corporate money out of politics. It is the root of all evil in Washington.
