- The president likes to criticize Trump for being too cozy with his fellow billionaires. But Biden’s biggest backers are worth roughly $170 billion-more than triple the collective net worth of Trump’s top tycoons.

What if every single person was only allowed to donate $50,000 - how would that change the US political system?
It's supposed to only be like $6,600 but there's a loophole for political parties
Would likely be even worse than it is now.
The rise of the internet already empowered politicians to pull in tons of micro-donations. Which means that as long as they can push the buttons of dimwits, they no longer need to listen to big donors as much.
Which is really an increase in the power of politicians (who can play with people's emotions) rather than an increase in the power of the voters.
The practical fact is that you need people with power to hold people with power in check... And now politicians are increasingly not being kept in check - even though almost none of these people are themselves leadership material.
D’s are supposed to be for the working class? 😂😂. Seems like they are only making billionaires wealthy. They are the only ones saying that there’s a great economy!!
Well actually billionaires on average donate more to republicans. Plus 73% of CEOs are Republicans…

AMAZING!
Billionaires love big government
Well 73% of CEOs are Republican… so I disagree
There are billionaires on the Republican side too. It's mostly ideological.
The real problem is that nobody is in a place to be sure what is best for the future of the country. And in the absence of views grounded in reality, people can only go in the direction of their own biases.
Gee, why isn't Robert Reich whining about these rich people?? I think we all know the answer to that!!!!
Because they put morals over profit
Nice to know Biden has nice “wingmen” ….😀
Not wingmen. Paymasters.
Easy money.
They should give all that money to homeless and people struggling to survive. Insteed they throw money away
You've seen the outcome of San Francisco spending hundreds of millions a year on homelessness right?
Although that problem was caused in large part by the courts making insane decisions that limited the city governments' ability to solve the problem.
Entrepreneurs have tried to directly address homelessness too... And again been blocked by governments and laws built for ideal circumstances. smh.
Homeless people have tons of options and support. They want to be homeless because they refuse to get off drugs. No amount of money can make you stop substance abuse.
Your funding numbers are a bit behind but conveniently were up to date on the debate performance. Interesting...
That’s because campaign finance disclosures are usually only reported every quarter rather than every month/day/etc. that’s what I would assume they did here.
U mean bribing a donation
All are part of the little hat tribe 👃 shocker🙄
😮
Kennedy Jr is the only candidate of the people. #VoteBobby
MACD
There’s a shocker
That means civilians are 2ñd class citizens, donors come first .
The regular people and their micro-donations are one of the biggest sources of donations, and thus one of the biggest sources of trouble in the post-internet age.
Since it means that politicians that can push people's buttons can get more backing than they could before.
Even $10 from a lot of dumb people can start to add up pretty fast.
🫡💎📈
All things considered, these donations sound microscopical relative to those people's net worths. And they don't quite seem aimed at getting Biden to do specific things.
Of course, making laws is in any case, the responsibility of Congress. A President only has direct power over so many things.
What were the names of the donors last cycle? and WHY don't Democrats want to talk about who filled all their SuperPAC's last election cycle? BTW hes in prison
America has the best economy in the world under Biden. -Reid Hoffman
😂 That's so Laughable
Bidenomics=Bidenflation
@@rogerhernandez5161 laugh all u want kid, but that doesn't make it untrue. Just facts, but then again, you people live in an alternate universe so I get it.
@@ufo_vid9694 Inflation is global kid, not just the US
@@ASD-DAD War is a racket. Remember, only ten percent for the big guy and five percent for Hunter's nostrils. Bidenomics!
NATO
More corporate welfare plz
The current Fed policies have essentially killed most big companies' access to easy capital... Thus all the layoffs.
Sounds like Jews for Joe Biden. SMH 🤦♂️
Is Forbes pro-far right?
Seems like it
Steve Forbes the main editor of these Forbes magazine is a very big libertarian
@@Sujaljaina there is difference between the two Forbes seems to be more. The thin line of the two
The CEO of Netflix is calling for Biden to drop out and is no longer donating to his campaign. I am no longer a Netflix subscriber as of today. I encourage all true Democrats to cancel their Netflix subscriptions.
You're so petty LMAO
No sane person should be trying to hold onto Biden right now.
Being indecisive at a critical time just means losing.
Independent voters matter, and even Democrats don't have a ton of faith in Biden right now.
Cry more. Sleepy Joe needs some rest.
Netflix sucks anyway cheesy low-budget movies
Imagine having billions and giving it to someone that can’t complete a sentence 😭😂🤡
Imagine loosing billions, having several bankruptcies, and a large percentage of voters still aren’t smart enough to realize that you’re bad with money, and shouldn’t be trusted with the national budget. 👀
@@dewilew2137imagine not knowing that failures come with business no matter how big it is
To be fair, they're not giving very much money. $10-15 million here or there isn't going to change much.
