“With under a week until the U.S. midterm elections, Americans for Tax Fairness revealed Thursday that billionaires have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns this cycle, largely to benefit Republican candidates.
“A torrent of billionaire cash is drowning our democracy,” declared Frank Clemente, executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF).
“Money talks when it comes to influencing candidates and winning elections, and the loudest voices by far are billionaires pushing for lower taxes so they can accumulate even greater wealth and have even more power and influence.”
“If we are going to have an economy that works for everyone, billionaires need to start paying their fair share,” Clemente added.
“And if we are going to have a democracy that works for everyone, we need to greatly curb the influence of billionaire money in our politics.”
