This is actually sort of a proven fact with few exceptions just statistically speaking. The US generally never passes any laws that the billionaires oppose and only passes them if they approve.

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

Yep and that knowledge is over ten years old, I pointed this out to Democrat voters, in person, repeatedly, over ten years ago, with that exact study... and they mostly guffawed and called me racist and hysterical.

Fucking American liberals man.

I used to say they'd be the death of us all... but now that has to be upgraded to present tense.

(ptsd flashback to Schumer gleefully chanting 'we will win'' after catastrophically losing, and also gleefully endorsing the genocide of Palestinians)

(second flashback to Pelosi in a kente cloth, but no, I'm the racist, apparently)
