Senator warns of 'the rule of the super-rich' in scathing Fox News editorial
- The United States is increasingly a country of have and have nots, and it will "move rapidly down the path of oligarchy and the rule of the super-rich" unless the people and political leaders fight for a government and economy that works for everyone.
In a scathing editorial on Fox News, Senator Josh Hawley criticized the influence of the "super-rich" in American politics, warning that the country is increasingly being governed by an elite class rather than by democratic principles. He highlighted how economic power has translated into political power, with the wealthy using their resources to shape policy, influence elections, and control media narratives. Hawley pointed out that this trend undermines the democratic process, as ordinary citizens find their voices drowned out by those with significant financial clout. He called for reforms to limit the influence of big money in politics, advocating for measures like campaign finance reform and antitrust actions to break up monopolistic corporations, aiming to restore a government that truly represents the will of the people rather than the interests of the affluent few.
