The Fastest Way to Turn a Bill Into a Law? Throw a Political Fundraiser.
How a Bill(ionaire) Becomes a Law(maker) is an animated short examining how, because 94% of all elections are won by the candidate with the bigger budget, politicians have shifted towards spending their days making policy to spending their days fundraising for their next campaign. Put together by unPAC, it’s an unsettling look at how, between politicians’ focus on campaigning budgets and the legalization of infinite corporate political donations, the US political systems have effectively been hijacked by the people with the most money.
