Brennan Center for JusticeFuture Americans will look back on this as the era when billionaires ruled U.S. elections. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/billionaires-provided-15-percent-funding-midterms
🌬 NorthWind@BrennanCenter To put it in perspective billionaires funded 15% of the midterm elections - they represent 0.0002% of the population! Think about that.
Patriotic Cats@BrennanCenter. how democracies devolve in autocracy
John Dewey@BrennanCenter so good to see you here.
Bob Wyman@Juhududu @BrennanCenter If markets were competitive and if taxes were fair, there would be no billionaires.
We need a Congress willing to do the work of regulating the economy to ensure competition and to increase the progressivity of taxation.
P.A.
howardowens@BrennanCenter this is assuming there will be future Americans. (And I’m not Endorsing the underlying thesis of the post. The threat to America comes from something more powerful than billionaires).
@howardowens @BrennanCenter true. Fascism is sweeping the globe again. It’s not too late for the US, but it’s almost too late and that is super frightening.
@BrennanCenter EXACTLY it.
