Zak Ringelstein on Government Reform

 

 


Ultra rich are buying our elected leaders & control policy

We always ask why the richest country in the world doesn't have excellent affordable universal healthcare or why tax cuts continue to be given to the wealthiest Americans. We can say once and for all that we know the reason. It is because corporations and the ultra-wealthy control policy in Washington--and this needs to end.˙Billionaires and corporations fund congressional campaigns and expect something in return: control over our elected leaders' votes.
