Sounds big! Right?

Well to a billionaire this is fucking chump change, which is why this is so important, because buying influence is WAY cheaper then you'd imagine.

If this guy had only just one billion, this donation is the equivalent of someone with $100,000 donating $70 to their politician.

It's ludicrous that this is allowed, and anyone that says billionaires donating this much to politicians is the system functioning properly is a goddamn billionaire bootlicker.
