So how are the billionaires making your life worse?

Socializing the losses and privatizing the profits comes to mind.

Leveraging their wealth to pass laws that are to their benefit at the cost of the "lower classes" is the next.

I'm sure this is a fun game for someone who thinks it's useful to retread it.

they bankrolled Trump, bankroll science denialism, deadlock against universal health care, homeless increases.

if you're ignorant of billionaires buying political policies, I doubt you see these things.

> billionaires buying political policies

Soros donated 140m in the 2022 mid-term to democrats. So you're against that?

That wasn’t the billionaires. That was straight out of the conservatives playbook.

Trump didn’t get bankrolled by billionaires. Trump won because both parties and the media ignored the needs of mostly the White working class and “evangelical conservatives” always vote Republicans.

I’m saying this as decently well off Black guy.
