Didn’t used to be that way. Billionaires just bought all of them after Citizens United. Taking care of the billionaires would fix the issue
Buddy, it’s always been this way. Just look at how the US treated workers trying to earn the right to strike. Look at McCarthyism.
The owning class of the capitalist elite have always been the ones at the wheel in this country. We are the premier hyper-capitalist nation and have been for this nation’s entire existence.
Every gain was made through the blood sweat and tears of the working class fighting in spite of this nation, not because of it.
It was exactly like this before CU, that ruling just made it legal. Government has always been the legislative arm of capitalism.
How, when they alone are richer than most nations?
Might seem that way because the decay of late stage capitalism is only now becoming obvious, but they’ve always had this relationship with capital.
This is nothing new.
