So much for the party of "freedom."

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

This sounds very plausible, and it's. not good for democracy...

"speech" of 50 billionaires ≠

"speech" of 6 million families

Tell me: how does it make sense that an entry-level federal employee is subject to more stringent ethics rules than Supreme Court justices?

@rbreich No. It doesn't make sense.
