    Money is speech when it’s billionaires funding PACs. You just need at least 100 million dollars to have full citizenship in this country.

      “Capitalism” has it in the name. It’s all about money and it doesn’t matter how you got it, only that you have it now, and the core of the system is the naive belief that those with the most money are also the best people.

      You need to spend 100 million. And that’s a threat of the weight of the billions behind it. Anyone thinking they can scrape small donations together to fight on their turf is bonkers.
