6. I would actually.

Because, first I love when rich people spend their money here in America. I love when they spend lots of money in America instead of parking it somewhere off shore. It adds to the economic engine. Like Dolly Levi says, "money is like manure, you have to spread it around to make things grow." (Or something like that...)

I'm happy for the waitstaff who worked last night. I hope they earned good tips. I've done that job and its grueling but it can pay well. I'm happy for the caterer who landing a good gig last night. I hope they charged a small fortune for the food and beverages they provided.

And most of all I'm happy for the down ticket democrats who'll use chunks of that cash to fuel their own campaigns.

I support any activity that helps to elect democrats and defeat republicans.

And given the variable scenarios to choose from, I'd much rather hear about rich people paying to meet Hillary than rich people paying to hear Trump or Cruz or Kasich.
