That's a real issue that I'm hearing about from folks right now that would have, I think, gotten probably 80 votes in the Senate and probably 400 votes in the House. The problem is that the billionaires have corrupted our politics. Elon Musk spent $300 million influencing the 2024 election. and they had a favor that they had to repay. That is a perfect example of the connection between the rigged economy that overwhelmingly benefits the people at the very, very, very top of our society and the corruption of big money in our politics.
