Damn I love him......Robert Reich...... [View all]

TRUTH!

‪Robert Reich‬
‪@rbreich.bsky.social‬

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.
