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.

The ONLY way to stop this is to limit the amount a person can contribute during any one election & stop ALL company donations.

Then make EVERY Donation made open to the public.

@Mor696 @rbreich I don’t think people’s political donations should be visible to their employers.

Besides, if you do your job to the best of your abilities I highly doubt an employer will give a crap if you sent $100 dollars to a political organization

@Mor696 @DrHyde @rbreich I don't know Darcy, I had my job threatened for adding a Jolly Fish to my email signature, even though many at the corporate office included Bible verses in theirs. I have no doubt that if they knew I donated to a dem, I would have at least lost my position.
