Woopee! We're going to have the best President and representatives that money can buy.
Which side gets the most money remains unclear. What is clear is that tv is going to absolutely suck with a tidal wave of those commercials designed for IQs of 45.
And they do this due to their love for their country. Thoughts are?
Kochs Plan to Spend $900 Million on 2016 Campaign
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/27/u...lumn-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0
The political network overseen by the conservative billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch plans to spend close to $900 million on the 2016 campaign, an unparalelled effort by outside groups to shape a presidential election that is already on track to be the most expensive in history.
The goal, revealed Monday at the Kochs’ annual winter donor retreat near Palm Springs, Calif., would effectively allow their political organization to operate at the same financial scale as the Democratic and Republican parties. In the last presidential election, the Republican National Committee and the party’s two congressional campaign committees spent a total of $657 million.
Out of curiosity, if someone really liked "Brand X" peanut butter and decided to initiate a campaign to get more people to like the brand would you have a problem with that? What if they spent $900M to get you to change from "Brand Y" to their preferred brand?
How much of it will be in dark money where we won't know that they are spending?
This country is becoming an oligarchy.
And the connection is? Sticky fingers? Ya must be it- sticky fingers.

1. With some exceptions (ie. Soros) money from the left comes from organizations representing thousands of people who made modest donations, not just a handful of extremely rich people.
2. Most of the causes championed by the left do not financially benefit a small number of people. Most of the causes championed by the right do financially benefit only a small number of people who are already rich and powerful.

It depends on whether the "preferred brand" is laced with a slow acting poison that their ads did not reveal. That is what the Koch's are doing.
If I had back all the money I've spent on Powerball tickets through the years, I'd be able to buy a private island.
Some might say the same thing about Soros.
Why a private island? To be totally reclusive?
And they do this due to their love for their country. Thoughts are?

I see such wealth disparity as evidence they've already been exploiting the population.I don't have a problem with anyone making big money as long as they don't encroach on my rights or freedoms.

I can help with that. You would be more likely to get struck by lightning on a clear day *and* attacked by a shark while standing in 2 feet of ocean water all at the same time than winning the Powerball.

Yet, they say someone does indeed win...And it costs a buck....What can you do these days for a buck?
Choosing a President is a little more important than choosing peanut butter. We are already influenced by China and other countries over the products we purchased. Do you want to allow them to buy our Presidency as well?
Not bad enough of odds considering lightning can strike from 10 miles away and some sharks can easily navigate 2 feet of water.
I wonder how much George Soros and other wealthy liberals are spending on their guys?
...At least five potential presidential candidates were invited this year, and four attended, including Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. On Sunday evening, three of them — Senators Marco Rubio of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas — took part in a candidate forum on economic issues....
