I wonder if anyone paid that much. As with all of these fundraisers, there's a scale of pricing. That top amount gets you a seat at the table with Hillary. All but $2700 of that amount goes to the DNC and other organizations to support down-ticket candidates. You do want Democrats to win at all levels, right.

If this fundraiser is typical of such fundraiser, $2700 will get you in. That's not much for a very large number of people. For them, that $2700 goes directly into Hillary's campaign fund. Anything over that gets shifted to other purposes, mostly to help state party organization and national party organizations.

Now, I've never been to any such fundraiser as a guest. I have, however, been to many of them as a volunteer. They're quite nice, and some of the people there were people I knew, and I don't run in the wealthy circles. Sometimes, I parked cars. Sometimes I carried trays of hors d'ouevre. Sometimes I even acted as a waiter. A few times, the woodwind quintet I played with played background music without charge. We were all Democrats. But I got to be there. You can do that, too, if you've a mind to. It's fun, and you get to meet some very interesting people.
