House urges action to end billionaire power and fund public needs for everyday Americans.

This resolution states the House believes the U.S. must act quickly to stop wealthy individuals and corporations from controlling politics and the economy. It calls for ending corporate tax breaks and subsidies, and instead investing in things like health care, housing, and education for the American people.

What Would Change

Today, the resolution claims that wealthy individuals and corporations have significant political and economic power, often through billions in campaign contributions and taxpayer-funded subsidies. If the actions called for by this resolution were taken, the government would work to end this dominance, stop giving public funds to corrupt corporations, and instead use public money to fund essential services like health care, housing, and education for all Americans.
