Abolish citizens United
This, so much this. Never stop saying it until its done. One of the worst things ever passed.
Too late! The bad stuff is here already!!
Billionaire parties won't do it. We need a working class/labor party.
Just did taxes, I am middle class. After deductions calculated, I paid federal roughly 17% I think that's reasonable for what I make and what I get out of it. Why can't billionaires have an "alternative minimum tax"? No matter how many deductions they have, they always pay 19...
It should be a tax on how much they spent. They hoard most of their wealth. Tax anyone making millions and above a percentage of what they spend. Call it the wealthy tax and make it publicly ranked. Their egos will be enough to afford healthcare.
Yeah it’s insane. Part of the problem is that these billionaires get rewarded in stock and then don’t even sell the stock for money. They just get loans against the value of the stock. Until they sell the stock they don’t have to pay capital gains tax. I don’t even know ...
I don't see how we can win against this aside from the masses uprising and physically dragging these billionaires and corrupt politicians into the streets, "Just vote in better people" doesn't work if the system to do that is compromised to its core.
Don’t tolerate billionaires, they don’t tolerate you.
Our system is Oligarchy with extra steps
Not to worry. The GOP is rapidly removing the extra steps.
Bourgeoise democracy is dictatorship of capital.
20 years ago there were only 30 billionaires, now there are 3000, meanwhile the average wealth of Americans is less in spending power than ever in our history when you calculate our average debt to the society that created those same billionaires. SOMETHING IS WRONG FOLKS.
Robber Barron Trump coming for your lunch money
It's been an auction since Citizens United in 2010.
Take all the money out of political campaigning. Level the playing field and make it so that lobbyists can’t buy congressman. Then maybe, just maybe, we’d have a chance. As it goes currently, we’re cooked.
Banning "donations" altogether would fix a lot issues
I think you meant elec- Oh I get it..
Unpopular opinion, money is speech, and a really democracy requires a UBI (and probably universal healthcare and education). The working class need reprieve from economic stress to think clearly about elections. I'm not opposed to the meme's approach, definitely has merit in t...
Fucking removed citizens United by any means necessary

Don’t allow anyone with over $500 million in assets to participate in any way in politics. No funding PACs no political donations, no advertising, no voting. With that much money, you already have too much power.
I typically believe in not blaming the victim, but certain group of Americans are stupid enough to prove their strategy effective.
We need Cobert to start another SuperPAC, the only was they'll ever ban them is when they start working for the little guy.
Can we tax political spending over $100 per person at 99%?
Money is free speech
So the poor dont have free speech? Got it.
