thats so much. thank god the USA only have checks notes holy shit, over 900
Note that 100 is not the total number of billionaires China has, just the number of billionaire MPs. According to the Hurun Global Rich List, there are 1021 billionaires in China.
The number of billionaire legislators in the US is zero.
true, the richest person in congress only has 660 mil, what a peasant /s yeah actually a very valid point. although I think its missing the point, that billionaires in the USA have insane amounts of leverage in legislature. just look at the market manipulation musk and trunp are doing and what happened to them. they got even richer.
...In congress? Because China has 539 in total.
Richest member of congress is estimated at $664.2 million

But 0 billionaires
There are some billionaire governors, and some of them are paradoxically progressives who call for taxing billionaires. I just think they're afraid of the guillotines coming out and are trying to get out ahead of a revolution they think might be on the horizon.
