Just another way for politicians to use tax loopholes to squeeze kickbacks and payoff money out of those they do favors for.
Or will do favors for.

Last night, President Obama held a fundraiser in the San Francisco Bay area, where he told presumably wealthy donors to be concerned about inequality and the wave of populism that's sweeping the nation. Oh, and did I forget to mention that one ticket to this event cost $33,400 (via the Hill):
Obama has previously expressed surprise by the enthusiasm generated by Trump and Sanders. But he urged donors attending the $33,400-per-ticket fundraiser to understand that populist candidates in both parties are tapping into something real.
"Despite all the progress we've made ... what is true is that people are anxious,†the president said. “People are deeply concerned about inequality in the sense that the system is rigged against ordinary folks."
"And they're not wrong."
Obama's audience was full of members of the "1 percent," the type of people Sanders, a democratic socialist, has railed against.
The fundraiser was held at the home of Steve Westly - a former California gubernatorial candidate, major Democratic donor and former eBay executive - in Atherton, Ca., annually listed as one of the wealthiest towns in America.
Yet, it's the Republicans who are the party of the rich. I’m pretty sure both parties share that title.
Whoever paid 33K to see that POS should be rounded up and put away in a mental home as they are beyond saving.
Its probably going to be on CSPAN for free!
What or who is this “lame (rhymes with duck)” fund raising for???
Here’s what I don’t understand:
Hillary and Bernie talk about income inequality and various other issues. Yet they never talk about the fact that a fellow Democrat has been president all these years. What has their fellow Democrat done on these issues??? What exactly would Hillary do differently to give “women equal pay” and “fight global warming” and “end police discrimination against blacks” and all the other liberal causes?????
They BOTH claim they have supported everything Obama has done the last 7 years....
They both claim to have supported Obama, yet clearly Obama has not made headway on these liberal causes. Just wondering why that is.
“On Thursday, he will attend a Democratic National Committee event at the home of former state Controller Steve Westly and Anita Yu in Atherton and will also attend a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee event.” http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/02/10/president-obama-arrives-in-bay-area-for-fundraiser/
because Obama had no intentions of doing anything to help blacks, poor people, or anyone American for that matter...
His intentions were clearly to create problems for America and to benefit his Muslim brotherhood....
Liberals and democrats can say all day and all night that he is not a Muslim, but he admitted as much in and off-guarded moment with Stephanapaulos...He clearly said, “His Muslim faith...” Then Stephanwhateverhisnameis corrected him...

The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer, while deciding your fate for you.
If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat, and air conditioning on a rationed basis.
The rest of us will eat insects and swelter, for the good of the planet.
Love that term.
We need to use it often.
Limbaugh Theorem at work here.
But how many paid and how many checks bounced?

So sweet. The quality are so concerned about the unwashed masses they’re wiping away their tears with $100 bills as they sip champagne. Gives me a tingle up and down my leg.
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds
from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.

Well said.
Crony capitalists to provide the dough
Entitlement army to provide the votes
The Chicago mob worked it perfectly - twice
Obama is proof that marijuana makes you really stupid
