18. And they do exist
Tue Dec 23, 2025, 08:50 PM

I like the billionaires that help people. You wanna just burn it all down and start over? People need to get more Democratic politicians in office to make things a bit better. Priztker is a nice billionaire. I'd like to see him in the WH. FDR was uber wealthy and he gave us Social Security. He welcomed the hate of the millionaires back then. Soros supports Democratic causes. That's why the BAD BILLIONAIRES attack him constantly.
