Research indicates that Congress appears indifferent to the preferences of ordinary citizens.
Beyond that, they frequently fail to enact legislation that would serve the broader American population.
According to a study by Gilens and Page
published in Perspectives in Politics, “
“The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy."
Whether we're talking about taxation or national debt, education or economic policy, America continues to struggle with our most pressing challenges. The wealthy and well-connected secure favorable outcomes, while everyday people bear the burden.
It's the ultra-wealthy who consistently get their way. Consider Elon Musk, ( the welfare king).
He stands as the world's richest person largely because of government subsidies funded by taxpayers like us.
Our tax dollars fund the government, yet those same dollars flow to the ultra-wealthy, who in turn wield enormous influence over our elected officials. This creates a self-perpetuating cycle that seems impossible to break, since Congress primarily crafts legislation to benefit the wealthy elite.
Most people recognize how the government system disadvantages ordinary citizens, yet meaningful change is out of our reach because of how the system works.

Do NOT VOTE FOR AMENDMENT 84.
Dark Money is behind this Amendment.
Out mail in voting is quite secure and has been quite honest through quite a few voting cycles.
This Amendment wants your lady 4 of your Social Security Number or the last 4 numbers of your drivers license number.
This Amendment will cost 2.7 million the first year alone and 1.2 million in other voting cycles.
We do not need this Amendment 84 in Colorado!
I live in El Cerrito and we need our community to fight for change. The billionaire donor class has purposefully muddied this ballot to confuse and divide voters. We can’t let their lies, greed and threats win!
A yes on 40 will only tax billionaires. The money’s destination is clear: 90% of these tax revenues for health care, 10% for food assistance or education-related programs.
This will save lives and protect children.
A No on 41 and 42 are required because these propositions were put in place BY BILLIONAIRES to make your yes on 40 not count!
Do your part to help our community, protect our children, and become part of the history that saves our democracy from the oligarchy.
I want the whole world to know that the US government is actively working to interfere with my country’s presidential elections.
I want the whole world to know that my country’s democracy is not for sale.
I want the whole world to know that my country’s sovereignty is non-negotiable.
I want the whole world to know that my country is under threat, and that every person, especially women like me, have targets on their backs if the Trump-backed candidate wins.
I want the whole world to know all of this, so later on you can’t claim ignorance.
You’ve been warned. And they are also coming for you and your country. It’s just a matter of time.
