10. Why should millionaires & billionaires have greater influence than other citizens?

This kind of money in politics is inherently corrupt and undemocratic. Is the United States a
representative democracy or an oligarchy?

Political donations should be limited to something like one week of pay pegged at the minimum wage.

When the courts rule that money equals free speech and elections and government officials are purchased by millionaires, the vast majority of citizens effectively do not have free speech.
