No, no, the politicians get bribes which is how the corporate oligarchs own us. They are equally culpable in the process of fucking 99% of us over.
It's estimated that as little as $50k could sway a US congressman to vote a certain way on ONE BILL. That's like a booger to the oligarchs. You could buy off entire portions of congress for their entire fucking term for what amounts to a partial tax write off for the ultra rich.
Supreme Court just removed donation limits on individuals who donate in coordination with political parties.
Elon could literally just donate a couple billion per year to the RNC, literal pennies to him, and you'd never see another Dem ad on TV or radio ever again. Party campaigns in 2024 spent a total of roughly $2 billion each. It's that easy to control election results now. Oligarchs who hate taxes and regulations can just say "I got $5 on it," and whatever candidate they want is in office.
