Matt, I have been reading your pieces for decades. I would love to see more investigations of: NGO’s and their money trails, how our recent congresspeople and presidents got so rich while in office , the failure of Elon Musk to find 1 trillion in savings in our federal budget and his plans to save us from bankruptcy as a nation. Did Elon capture all of our data once he had access to Treasury and Social Security??
Major questions that probably put you in danger for asking.
Also how Big Pharma captured Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and who else have they ensnared.
I’d pick a random member of congress - one from each party - and compare his or her wealth with that of an average mid- to high-level executive in the district represented. Comparable salaries as a basis for comparison.
Look at investments of each and compare average returns against the stock markets and retail financial brokerage products.
It’d be interesting, as long as it could be judged as a fair comparison.
Then see if folks believe their congressman and senators were actually their representatives and working with their best interests at heart.
Just askin’ fer a friend…
