Billionaires that spend $100 Million this election, perverting our democracy..

decrying even small tax increases, shows their narcissism and hypocrisy.

Spend 100 mil to buy a 4.6% tax cut is really not that great of a buy, but also shows that if they can easily afford to spend 100 mil buying democracy, then they can easily afford that 4.6% tax hike. Duh.

Of course, their also buying deregulation/self-regulation, their ability to monopolize, and windfall profit etc..

Until we are able to elect a government that can overturn Citizens United and get money out of politics, our best option is to TAX POLITICAL/SUPERPAC DONATIONS over $2500 per person, per election cycle.

A 70% tax on political donations above $2500.
