AI Summary
This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States must urgently address the significant influence of wealthy individuals, referred to as "billionaire oligarchs," and large corporations on American democracy and the economy. It calls for an end to government subsidies and tax advantages that strengthen their power, arguing that these benefits should instead be reinvested in public needs like healthcare, housing, and education to counter authoritarianism. The resolution criticizes current practices where political contributions from the wealthy allegedly lead to favorable government contracts, loans, and grants, even when companies engage in unfair competition or violate labor and environmental laws. It advocates for breaking up monopolies in key sectors like tech and media, publicly financing elections to reduce the impact of big money, and increasing taxes on corporations and the ultra-rich, including a wealth tax, to fund essential services and promote economic equality. Furthermore, it suggests reforming the Supreme Court to ensure it supports democratic action rather than entrenching oligarchic power, supports the expansion of labor unions, and explores alternative forms of economic ownership beyond traditional corporations.
