There's no doubt that the recent setbacks to Roe v. Wade in various US states can be attributed in large part to the efforts of the Bible-thumping billionaire Koch brothers, who have been pouring money into anti-abortion initiatives for years.
That's what happens when your democracy is for sale to the highest bidder. Billionaires have the resources to outbid the rest of us.
Other billionaires may have other interests. A billionaire wants the US embassy in Jerusalem in stead of Tel Aviv? Done!
Billionaires need tax breaks? Done!
A billionaire buys his way into the White House and uses the office as a draw to get the rich and powerful to stay at the hotel he owns down the street? Brilliant!
When billionaires use their money to impose their whims, it's the rest of us who pay.
