Hello and happy Monday, 

The current rule inadequately addresses the disproportionate influence that large corporations exert over our economy and political system. This imbalance undermines democratic principles and accelerates the erosion of the middle class. To correct this, we need a stronger rule that empowers the public and holds corporations accountable. The new regulation should increase transparency, limit excessive corporate lobbying, and enforce stricter penalties for unethical financial practices. By reallocating power back to the populace, we can ensure that economic policies serve the broader public interest rather than benefiting a select few. It is imperative that we implement decisive actions now to curb corporate overreach, restore economic fairness, and revive the notion of a thriving middle class, which is essential for a healthy democracy.
