The Triumph of Super PACs

Well, 5% of their total fortune is 3.9 billion. That isn't pledged to anything currently, but still, I imagine their children are making enough money on their own. Also, this money isn't until after their death. It isn't like they are bending over backwards here.

You're right. They should get it all, dammit. It's just not fair! Stupid 95 billion dollar charity!

Let's put it this way, TGO. Do you feel ok knowing that your vote is worth less because someone else can buy votes that make yours insignificant?

Assuming you're not a billionaire, that is. Which is a safe assumption.

TGO is a trillionaire.

Where am I saying they should get it all? I'm saying Bill Gates isn't suffering and it really isn't as "noble" as you keep saying it is.

I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm a billionaire. It's just that...the type of billionaire I am, it's the kind where I don't really have very much money at all, or stuff. So basically I'm a billionaire. Just without money or stuff.

Actually I'm not saying it's "Noble." I'm saying it's an enormous amount of money that they don't need, they will never be able to spend, and are giving away. It should be fucking status quo.

He's a chamillionaire.

People are literally buying votes? I agree, that is unfair.

The chick in your avatar has a rather large, and obscenely shiny, forehead.

Rose colored blinders? You mean sunglasses? Or are my blinders sort of a pinkish red?

No, I meant blinders.. you only see what you have been pointed at seeing.. and don't have the sense to even know you're being led by a bridle.

Or are you just sad that you've been snowed your entire life by people much, much smarter than you?

Irony.
