Quote 11 Oct 48 notes
After the last election, when I would ask my [colleagues] to cosponsor a speculator tax they’d say, ‘I don’t really want to make the people on Wall Street that angry and didn’t somebody spend a lot of money against you?’ It has a chilling effect against some people on legislation.
—  Oregon Rep. Pete DeFazio (D) on what it’s like being targeted by Wall Street billionaires with endless amounts of cash and what it means for our political system. (Huffington Post)
