When billionaires have less free cash, they have less money to spend on far-right political parties, anti-democracy media outlets like Fox News, and on buying decisions from publicly corrupt Supreme Court Justices.

They'd also have less money to spend on buying genocides, civil rights rollbacks, and voter suppression.

  American democracy has a billionaire problem. It’s not just that they’re not paying their fair share of taxes: they’re trying to buy our highest courts to advance their personal agendas, bending the law to their will. Pennsylvania is the latest target of this new brand of billionaire ambition, which used to be focused on acquiring sports franchises, like the Eagles. Who’s the billionaire trying to capture the Commonwealth’s highest court? It’s Jeff Yass, Pennsylvania’s richest resident, a Queens-born New York native.
