I couldn't care less if billionaires blow their money on losing candidates. (Should they all have rallied around Trump? rofl )


If they aren't going to provide it to their workers in the terms of higher wages , or give it to worthwhile charities, who cares what they do with it?

They could invest it in capital and innovation and create jobs. Oh wait, they already do.
