The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
