The enshittification of politics

[Linda ladeewolf]

133. Thank you so much!

I’ve been reading bits and pieces of this for months and couldn’t tie it all together. My memory is not what it used to be, but my instincts still work. It all felt like a huge conspiracy and I hate conspiracies. I could see something but just couldn’t hang on to the thread long enough to connect the dots.

We need to get big money out of the election system. We need desperately to overturn citizens United! We need to tax churches and any organizations that interfere in our elections and government. We need especially to tax the wealthy and all corporations heavily so they don’t have the money to buy our government. We need to make lobbying illegal as well. We need to raise the minimum wage to a livable amount so it doesn’t matter how corporations try to stiff us. Putting a ceiling on rents and gas prices and passing a few rules on corporations wouldn’t hurt either. Like if you sell to Americans as an American corp you must be based in America and hire American Citizens, not sure how that would fly, but we do need it. First of all we need to expand the Supreme Court and get those ethics rules in place, with penalties!
I hope this doesn’t sound to silly.
