summary

In this opinion piece from The New York Times, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders argue that Congress is serving the interests of the wealthy and powerful, rather than the American people. They criticize the influence of big money in politics and the fact that many lawmakers prioritize the needs of corporate donors over the needs of working-class Americans. Warren and Sanders highlight the importance of moving towards a government that works for all people, not just the wealthy elite. They argue for campaign finance reform, stronger ethics rules, and a greater focus on addressing income inequality and improving the lives of everyday citizens.
