Maybe we can use this?
Since ~~bribery~~ gratuities are legal now, apparently, and the Supreme Court is legislating everything from the bench, maybe we can pool a sort of PAC and put together a prize sheet for different positive things we want. If they rule for those, they get the prize indicated. Kind of like the prizes you'd get for selling certain thresholds during school fundraisers.
Also kind of like the Criss Points system:
Even if all the peasant in US united and pitched in, out collective buying power would still NOT be enough v top 10% but like even top 1%
Think about that.
There's also the question of disposable income. Top X% have more wealth and income than us, and that excess is basically all disposable. Most of the income and "wealth" of the bottom of the economic ladder is tied up in survival needs, so it's even less of a possibility than at first glance.
