At that level of wealth, it isn't always about greed. Many of these guys think they're changing their country for the better by promoting conservatism.
If you had that kind of bank, wouldn't you throw money at liberal politicians? I would.
At that level of wealth your entire motivation for living has been greed and no amount of money satisfies greed. They're expecting a return on that donation for sure.

We need money out of politics, but it's not going to happen because moderates Dems and Republicans both take advantage of it.
We won't be able to fix it till progressives are the majority, and we're having difficulty because dirty money goes into primaries too where it's even more impactful.
If you bring in lots of money (shady was doesn't matter) you get leadership positions.
That's why Jaime Harrison is is running the DNC despite not knowing how to win an election.
this guy with the both sides stuff. Was the Citizens United political action committee that brought the case supporting Republicans or Democrats? Of the nine justices which ones voted against it?
