Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
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.
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.
There's more than one way to get rid of billionaires. Taxing them is the best remedy they could hope for.
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.

“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!
Perfect picture choice!
Chad meme quality moment.
This is why authoritarians want to make politics a dirty business to keep everyday people from participating in it.
...hooray for the people!..
