“They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,” he said in an interview with MSNBC last week.
There’s no logic to hatred. I hope he’s simply enjoying the win. Congrats, dude!

Bloomberg donated the most, but spent very little. He's reportedly worth $100+ billion. He spent 13 million.
That's like saying be spent 13 cents when his net worth was $1 million.
That's like 1 drop in 3 buckets.
It's loose change you find on the floorboard of your car.Billionaires should not exist.

So uhhh, unless I'm doing my conversions wrong, it's more like a $133 donation while being worth a million.
And yet, it's still a mere 0.0133% of his worth. Not 1.33%, 0.0133% if it.

This is why authoritarians want to make politics a dirty business to keep everyday people from participating in it.

You know, opening with how Bloomberg has $100,000,000,000 dollars makes the $13,300,000 donation not seem quite so impressive. Both are more money than I'll see in my lifetime, but if we're taking relative values, that's like one of us making a $13.30 donation to a campaign.
We really, really shouldn't have billionaires. It's just such a stupid amount of money.
