500 richest people gained a record $2.2 TRILLION in 2025.
That's enough to lift 3.8 billion people (half the world!) out of poverty.
This is oligarchy, not an economy that works for the people who contribute to it every day.

Trump asked the oil industry for $1 billion during the 2024 election. Now the industry is getting what it paid for. Yet another example of why we have to get uncontrolled money out of our politics.
