  • Resumen

  • Over the past 50 years, the U.S. has seen a sharp rise in both income inequality and the political influence of ultra-rich Americans. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas and Senior Fellow Darrell West discuss how changes in campaign finance laws—notably the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. FEC—have allowed billionaires to pour unlimited money into elections. These shifts, along with tax breaks for the wealthy and weakened labor power, have tilted public policy in favor of America’s wealthiest people.
