BUMPED2002 10/19/20 10:33:04 AM #1:	Are you billionaires controlling the US Government? Yes No I don't know Are you billionaires controlling the US Government? - Results (45 votes) Yes 68.89% (31 votes) 31 No 26.67% (12 votes) 12 I don't know 4.44% (2 votes) 2 Do billionaires control the US Government? I'd say yes simply because with the Supreme Court Citizens United case, dark money comes in from the US wealthiest citizens to "buy" politicians and they then set out to carry the wishes of the wealthiest via laws, tax codes, free trade agreements etc etc. The wealthiest even control the candidates who run for the Presidency because they handpick the people they want then they bankroll their campaigns so no matter who voters choose, you choose someone picked by the 1%. --- SpankageBros <cite>BUMPED2002 posted [p:946031897] in Billionair...

TheWorstPoster 10/19/20 10:55:30 AM #5:	The billionaire in the executive office can barely control the Legislative Branch, since they attempted to impeach him for something his opponent's son did, as well as, without any proof, and despite the media breathing down his neck where he couldn't even sneeze without it being reported, somehow colluded with a foreign power who we are not on the best of terms with. <cite>TheWorstPoster posted [p:946032542] in Billionair...

Zeus 10/19/20 3:37:07 PM #9:	BUMPED2002 posted... Do billionaires control the US Government? No. Even though we have a literal billionaire president, even he hasn't been able to really control the government. Not to mention that "billionaires" aren't some monolithic group anyway. They support different parties, opposing legislation, and things that benefit one can hurt the others. BUMPED2002 posted... I'd say yes simply because with the Supreme Court Citizens United case, dark money comes in from the US wealthiest citizens to "buy" politicians and they then set out to carry the wishes of the wealthiest via laws, tax codes, free trade agreements etc etc. If money in politics made as a big difference as people think, Trump would have lost both the primary and general election in 2016. BUMPED2002 posted... The wealthiest even control the candidates who run for the Presidency because they handpick the people they want then they bankroll their campaigns so no matter who voters choose, you choose someone picked by the 1%. And yet Trump had one of the smallest war chests of any primary candidate whereas Jeb had more money than anybody on the Republican side but quickly lost. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:946042743] in Billionair...
