That is mine and many others point, when we say, " follow the money". Thats why my little 25 dollar donation to my person, I think is a good choice, has to be added to by thousands of others, donating 25 or less. Because big money can give millions, and do. The thing is, their ideals, beliefs, whatever. Generally doesn't jive with the majority of Americans. Only the 5% of rich folks. Plus I don't say all rich are bad, or selfish money gubbers. But I don't think there is one billionaire, who would sacrifice, even half, his or her wealth, if it meant, free healthcare or getting rid of world hunger. I heard once that even, Bill Gates, said he'd gladly pay way more in taxes, if it meant it would be used to deal with many of America's financial problems. But when asked, how far would you go, he did have limitations. Microsoft is worth 100s if billions of dollars, yet probably pays hardly anything in taxes, compared to its wealth. This is all I meant when I say, follow the money. Trace who gets it down to who gives it. And guaranteed, you'd find power hungry billionaires. And as for Fox and the propaganda they spew. The people you say listen to their hype and think about it harder. Personally I don't think they think at all. I think it just gives them a backer, high up the ladder, to emulate. Look at trump rallies. Those people aren't thinking. They're just responding to masters calls to action. Well, most of them. The ones that are smart, and just using his claims for monetary purpose, just go along for the lower taxes and regulations. I think u and I are on the same side. Just looking at the issue a little differently. That's great. People should have their own opinions. As long as it's for the betterment of everyone, even if scaled, thats the way it should be.
