What do you think of when you hear the word “oligarchy,” John?

Do you see rich people sitting around a table laughing maniacally? Or Russians wrapped in furs and jewelry worth more than your house?

The reality is kind of boring and much closer to home. Here’s how the American oligarchy works:

According to a study by political scientists Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page, the wealthiest 10% of Americans have far more influence over our elected officials than the rest of us.

The ultra-rich pressure Congress to pass laws that favor their small circle instead of benefiting the majority of us.

That cycle will keep repeating if we don’t do something about it, John.

The corruption in our political system is caused by money influencing our elections, lawmakers, and special interest groups. Fortunately, we have a solution, and we want you to be part of it.

Let’s do this,
