    “Mike Baker and Steven Rich of the New York Times published a long exposé of the corruption of American politics by billionaires. They explain how underwriting political campaigns from those for local school boards to the presidency has enabled the very wealthy to lock in their policy preferences for tax cuts, deregulation, and cuts to the social safety net while also steering valuable government contracts to themselves.”

    “Americans Want Billionaires Out Of Politics—And Think They’re A Threat To Democracy, Poll Shows
    A rising number of Americans believe billionaires pose a threat to democracy, newly released data shows, and seven in 10 want the ultra wealthy to play a smaller role in U.S. politics amid an administration that has publicly cozied up to the country’s richest people.”

  7. @RegGuy @lauren That surely explains it!
    There should be no private or corporate contributions to inaugurations. It's just more legal bribery, a perfect opportunity for all sorts of corruption. If we can't totally eliminate them, cap them. Maybe $5000 limit?
    And while we are at it #overturncitizensunited
