Wealth Circles Fuel Systemic Dysfunction

A small group of powerful financial institutions exerts significant control over the U.S. government, with new administrations often filling key positions from major banks, resulting in policies that favor these financial giants. The military-industrial complex shapes foreign policy to sustain profitable conflicts, with profits from wars funneled back into political campaigning to ensure the reelection of supportive officials. Additionally, the food and pharmaceutical industries create a cycle of poor health outcomes by selling unhealthy products and costly medications, while funding media advertising and political contributions that maintain their influence and regulatory advantages. This interconnected system perpetuates a cycle of profit and power at the expense of public well-being.
