I don't understand it. Jack will spend any amount of money to buy votes but he balks at investing a thousand dollars in a beautiful painting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy; Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
A million dollars in the presidential election is a spit in the ocean. It's not a lot of money.
Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.
I don't trade my vote for money.
When billionaires can give $50 million, $500 million to a campaign, and there's no limit, then it makes a mockery of 'one man, one vote.'
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
Elections are a competition with only one winner. Giving more money to the opponent every time one speaks on behalf of a favored candidate discourages the speech that triggers the matching funds.
Billionaires like the Koch brothers, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, and political puppet master Karl Rove should not be able to buy our elections. Secret money should not be able to drown out the voices of the American people and sell our Democracy to the highest bidder.
The decision as to why a show makes it has to do with politics and money.
Anybody who knows me knows my vote can't be bought.
