File this under "why billionaires should not exist".
Everyone talking about billionaires and how they endorse, support, finance, fund, hold lotteries to influence an election and everyone still thinks they exist in a democracy.
It's an oligarchy or a plutocracy
Call it whatever you want ... but it certainly isn't a democracy

In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used “improper pressure ... “to harm his perceived political enemy” Bezos.
That doesn't really matter. They were just trying to use the system to get more tax cuts and passes.
Kamala wants to raise taxes on the rich 4+%, while Trump wants to lower them by ~1.5% (again). These asshole would want to see Trump harm americans and destroy the system for a few extra % in their pocket.
