When a person in the Top 0.0001% spends $500,000, the equivalent relative financial impact for a person in the bottom 50% is to spend 51 cents. Extreme wealth enable the uber-rich to have outsized political influence and effectively disenfranchises 99.9999% of Americans. ihaveanidea.us/awi/

Trump lies and lies and lies. His supporters don’t care that he lies. His opponents already know he lies. So stop fact-checking his most recent lie. It's a waste of your audience’s time, your talent, and good electrons. Spend that energy explaining his authoritarian game plan.

To save our democracy, we must break the Wealth-Power Feedback Loop. To break the Feedback Loop, we must cap extreme wealth. Read the argument here: IHaveAnIdea.us/wpl/

Democracy Cannot Survive The Wealth-Power Feedback Loop

America's wealthiest have disproportionate political influence which undermines democracy and fuels both authoritarianism and political violence.

Trump lies and lies and lies. Everything he says is intended to accrue wealth or power. Nothing he says is true. Everything he touches turns to sh!t. People who support him either are willfully ignorant or abide by his immoral behaviors.

The GOP Justices ignore norms of judicial behavior, precedent, rationality, & morality to impose their regressive agenda on America Blue State Governors should announce they’ll prioritize the health, safety, welfare, citizenship, and education above Supreme Court edicts ihaveanidea.us/roguescotus/

Our Rogue Supreme Court

The SupremeCourt is foisting its regressive agenda on America. As Federal remedies are politically unrealistic, Blue State Governors must reign-in the Court by implementing a novel strategic plan.

If Congress expanded the House of Representatives from 435 to 8,300, it would: 1. Eliminate political gerrymandering, 2. Reduce big money’s influence on Congress, and 3. Enable constituents to know their representatives www.ihaveanidea.us/8300reps/

8,300 House of Representatives Will Help Fix America

The Federal gov’t would be more functional if we each House of Representatives member had only 40,000 constituents resulting 8,300 Representatives.
