... that has happened over the last three decades taking our wealth away and giving it to the rich, that screw us over with their bigger donations to ensure that laws are written to enable them to do this more and screw us more.

I'm damned if I'm going to give money to those that aren't committed to and have a decent strategy of limiting the power of big money and to reverse the wealth gap that exists now. Otherwise my middle finger goes up in their direction.
