Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will raise money on Wall Street on Wednesday at an eye-popping $100,000 per-ticket Park Avenue event hosted by private equity mogul Henry Kravis and his wife.

The price of admission to the event, which will raise funds for Bush’s “Right to Rise” super PAC, surprised even Wall Street veterans used to high-dollar fundraisers.

Voters. We don't need stinkin' voters.

[COBOL2Java]

Will he be hawking Florida voters PII?

[Timber Rattler]

Reminds me of the short-lived, totally corrupt Emperor Didius Julianus.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

"See, see you mean-old right-wing extremists! At least Bush is raising money from the private sector! If this was Soros' money, you'd be up in arms!"

GO BUSH! HAT-TRICK 2016!

Serfs, that’s the ticket.

We had some in our family. I guess I’d better dust off the old kerchiefs and figure how to get over my hay allergy quick.

Voters? Citizens? Taxpaying patsies?

We’d all be better off going to Mexico and coming back in without papers.

How long before Jebbie calls himself a champion of the middle class?

Why is this crap even legal? What is the difference between a campaign donation like these, and bribes?

[longfellowsmuse]

And this is why so many people are disgusted with American politics.

“What is the difference between a campaign donation like these, and bribes?”

That’s simple.

If you do it, your can is in the slammer. If the elite do it, they are entitled because, well, just because.

Peasant. At least that’s what the Hilton kid called us.

The sign-up table for Jebbie's party.

Like George Carlin said, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”

[Jane Long]

"Right to Rise" SuperPAC

[GraceG]

This is the second dumb thing Jebster has done today the first being releasing other people’s info...

[Georgia Girl 2]

In your wildest dreams can you imagine paying 100k to see Jebbie? :-)

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Jeb Bush is a “One Percenter” and we don’t need him as our Obama-clone. PERIOD

We need an hard working, honest, morally ethical conservative who will work to protect America, not to gain political power as a paramount goal.

[tennmountainman]

Jeb, the man of the people.

Think I’ll pass on going or voting for him.

[CatherineofAragon]

"How long before Jebbie calls himself a champion of the middle class?"

Oh, just wait until he stages a photo op outside some little country store to get himself one of them there hunting licenses.

To the kind of people who will be there, that's not even pocket change.

[Leaning Right]

Why is this crap even legal? What is the difference between a campaign donation like these, and bribes?

It's the same thing with Hillary. She charges financial organizations $250,000 each for bland boilerplate speeches.

And they willingly pay up. Because if she takes the White House in 2016, that will be money well-spent.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Seriously, Jeb Bush does not represent the American people. He represents his group of multinational corporate leaders, and actually equates what they want as what is good for America. And this is a major problem.
