He may be a Bozo but he knows how to make money. He makes Bill Gates look like a beggar. Why do so many billionairs end up being leftists ? Is it because they crave power after all that money bores them?

More like, they've made a buttload of money, more than Midas ever dreamed of and certainly more than any man or woman could need to live a life of luxury with.

After that though... then what?

Rush has talked before about how celebrities like actors almost always become leftists. They are known for their roles in movies etc. and Rush agreed, acting is hard. But that's not all that they want to be known for. They want to feel that they matter in the greater scheme somehow. So they latch onto liberalism because, hey, you can't get a faster ticket to feeling important than that!

That's it with Bezos, I imagine. He's made his billions and now he's bored. He wants to be known for more than for his money. And in liberalism he's found a quick and easy way to have purpose.

Day late and a few dollars short, because the left offers them ‘salvation’ and virtue in this world, just support their causes, unlike those fuddy-duddy rightists and their Christianity.
