AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution states the opinion of the House of Representatives and does not create law. It says the federal government should stop giving public contracts, loans, and grants to billionaire-controlled companies that engage in political quid pro quo deals or break labor, environmental, or nondiscrimination laws. It calls for publicly financed elections with small-dollar contributions, breaking up monopolies in media, finance, and tech, and raising taxes on corporations and the very wealthy, including a wealth tax. It also calls for reforming the Supreme Court, expanding unions, promoting cooperative and public ownership, and using public money for health care, housing, food, and education.
