It's also way too simple for the wealthy to donate and push policy makers into power. Even simpler you could argue.
This is for the voting 99% .. they are still being manipulated by forces that truly do not care. Corruption at the political level can only do so much after a while, something trump really hammered home with Clinton n 2016 .. and caused voters to swing. Of course, trump has no place to talk and is found out the longer he is in power , but people do have a choice. They talk about the power of the nra, yet democrat inspirations like the kardashians are worth over a billion and could crush their influence if their followers forced them to. But they are manipulated instead by both sides. Tax wise , marginal tax isn’t a deal breaker in terms of bringing the poor to a higher quality of life but you want to close loopholes intended to keep people where they are regardless of poor business decisions.
