Nearly three-quarters of Americans say billionaires and big corporations hold too much power in Washington while working people hold too little, according to a new national survey that Senator Bernie Sanders has seized on to renew his long-running attack on concentrated wealth.
The figure comes from a Wall Street Journal-NORC survey released on 8 July, in which about 75% of respondents said political influence has tilted toward the wealthiest households and the largest companies. Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, responded within hours.
