71. So what?
It's still a ridiculous thing to say. The cost of his "sacrifice" is less to him than a comic-book hobby is to an average earner. Oh, and it's so he can become president. Hilarious!

And super-richies are always finding causes to finance, and expecting us to celebrate them. They stick big pieces of their fortunes into "charitable" foundations, actually preserving it from the estate tax and maintaining control over the next generations. And the obsequious fawn over them (cf. this thread, akin to a picture magazine about the troubles of royalty).

From his perspective, Scaife "sacrificed" for his country by financing the Arkansas Project.

God help us, not from the rich, but those among the lower classes who buy their idealizations.

But WAIT, I'm sorry. Did you say you know LOTS of people with that kind of money? They won't risk a million? That's okay, every little bit counts. I have a worthy project for them to invest in. Just PM me if it's serious.
