    Still extra sickening how much billions are. Even if he actually did 45 million it would have roughly the same percentage impact to his net worth as me spending $100

      Yeah… but that’s only the volume of money.

      The bigger picture is that he’s allowed to use his wealth to influence elections which will of course favour himself and others of his ilk.

      He’s using his money to convince people to vote against their own interests. The whole thing is cooked. Wrong on so many levels.

        I agree, i was trying to also bring to light that he can have that much influence with an amount of money that could almost be a rounding error to him.
