Why American Politics is a Billionaire’s Playground

The United States was built on the promise of equal opportunity, but today, that dream seems further out of reach. Instead of being a government of the people, for the people, it feels like we’ve entered an era where billionaires wield outsized power over politics, policies, and the future of our democracy.

From funding political campaigns to controlling media narratives, the wealthiest few have turned democracy into a commodity. Elections are no longer about the voice of the people; they’re about the influence of the elite.

The boiling point didn’t happen overnight. Policies dating back to the Reagan era gave corporations more power than ever, allowing wealth to accumulate at the top while middle- and working-class Americans struggle to be heard.

Where are the leaders who stand for the greater good? Too many politicians play along, prioritizing donors over voters. Yet, history shows us that bold leadership can challenge the status quo.

We face a choice: Accept the growing oligarchy or demand a revival of democratic ideals. Change starts with awareness, courage, and a refusal to normalize the injustices we see today. The question is, are we ready to act?
