I posted this in a letters to the editor in our newspaper.

I simply asked this question. If you think government will change, than why would someone spend 50 to 100 million dollars of their own money to get a job that pays them somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 per year for four to six years. Sounds like a not so good business decision unless it is about the money and if that is the case, than there will be no change. It will be business usual.

Always wondered about that myself. :kick:

2. Related question, why would someone spend hours posting on an internet forum when it's unlikely

their posts will affect anything?

Possible answer, some people have time to waste and others have money to waste. :shrug:

3. I would imagine that Meg is SO rich...

...that she had to spend all that money on something or it would end up getting taxed.
And we all know how people like her hate to pay taxes.
