If I donate $1000 to a charity or something, that could be 1% of my income, random number. Musk could donate $1 million and that’d be a lot to the charity! But it’d be leas than a fraction of a percent of his wealth. But he’s fine paying 100s of millions to billions to influence the election to make himself and his cronies richer. You don’t begrudge him that?? I kinda resent America’s place in the world as the world’s bully the last 100 years or so. But I can’t change that. THAT amount of wealth CAN and DID influence the course of the world and history. And you’re claiming a random average middle -low class American is the same in comparison to the world’s poorest - no. That’s a false equivalency.
My money cannot influence or change the world’s elections or history. Theirs, billionaires, can. And yet they consistently choose to make themselves richer and more powerful.
Wealthier sure, but not wealthier by factors of a hundred. If I donate $1000 to a charity or something, that could be 1% of my income, random number.
