50 billionaire families have spent $600 million+ on the 2024 elections, which is .06% of their total wealth.

The equivalent donation for an avg household would be ~$100.

This means 50 billionaires have the political-spending capacity of 6 million American families.

Oligarchy.

@rbreich In this case, a workable solution is one that will pass both houses of Congress and get signed by the President in an election year. Otherwise, you're simply whinging.
