It is disquieting to learn that Oracle, the fifth largest tech company in the U.S, has joined the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). 

“ALEC is a pay-to-play organization where state legislators and corporate lobbyists meet behind closed doors twice a year to write model legislation that advances a radical right-wing, pro-corporate, and pro-Republican agenda.”

The 2010 decision in Citizens United opened these wealthy wallets to influence our republic claiming money is protected speech. During 2022 Cofounder of Oracle Larry Ellison contributed $20 million to Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) who is now a 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
