Adelson is willing to pay 400 million to oust Obama. Would his tax bill be that high? [View all]

or would the combined tax bills of the "Billionaire Boyz Club" be as much as they are willing to bribe republicans with?

It amazes me how they whine & boo-hoo-hoo over their need for tax relief, and yet they throw wads of cash (the country really needs) at every sleazy republican they see.

Election cycles are no longer "every 4 years" , with minor ones every year locally. We have a Rube Goldberg Perpetual Election Machine going full throttle 24/7 year-round, and the republican electioneering beast must be fed non-stop. Local/state races are now beneficiaries of the **BBC because every lowly republican elected to small offices all over, may some day be elevated to a pivotal judgeship, congressional seat , senate, or even presidency.

There is always enough money for bribes, but never enough money for taxes.
