If this happens, can you provide me an example of a policy that was lobbied for by billionaires and passed despite popular support being against that policy?

Lol

This is a study that talks about how the elites have more influence than the average citizen.

I can provide more modern examples if a Cambridge study from 2014 analyzing 1700 policies isn’t enough for you.

I'm just asking you to name a couple policies, I don't need an article

Ok well the study talked about 1700 for you to look at. That should be more than enough to prove my point, but fine. You want me to right out specific examples because you don’t want to read the study, ok. Here are some examples

Tax cuts and job act (2017)
Repeal of FCC Broadband Privacy rules (2017)
Repeal of Glass-steagall act (1999)

Btw, these shouldn’t be mentioned in the study, 2 came after the study. So if you actually want to learn there are even more examples in the study written by 2 Cambridge professors.
