If you make it much harder for a President you hate to get reelected, would you give $309.20
It has been announced today that Sheldon Adelson is spending $100,000,000 to defeat Obama. That is around 1/250 of his net worth. For the median household that translates to $309.20. If he chose to spend just the equivalent of $1000 to that same family his contribution would be $323,415,265.20. The fact is Adelson, by his lonesome, could literally spend more than everyone else combined, and still only have spent about the equivalent of the median income family spending around $5,000. For him that would be around 1.6 billion. This is what the SCOTUS unleashed upon us.
