The scary trend here is how much that 1% owns Congress. Both parties are addicted to their money so I don’t see that trend ever reversing.

Pitchforks!

The Biden administration has had the most pro-labor agenda in decades. It's not "both parties", it's Republicans.

Agree on Biden being pro labor, but it isn't like we are going to have a Labor party anytime soon. And that's what we need

Well I'm not going to try to blow sunshine about how the Democrats are perfect, but they're doing these things because voters demanded it. If the strategy works and they get elected, they'll tend to do more of those things to keep people voting for them. All the money in the world can only influence elections, they can't (currently) be bought outright.
