Thirteen Billionaire Donors that is:

Joe Biden extended his lead over Donald Trump in the race for the most billionaire donors in May, according to a review of documents filed with the Federal Election Commission. The former vice president, who has received donations from 106 billionaires and their spouses, added six new donors last month. President Trump, meanwhile, got just one new donor, bringing his total to 93.

My guy got a classic in his stable now

The Biden campaign added support from a few Democratic megadonors. Haim Saban, who Forbes estimates is worth $2.8 billion, made his first contribution to Biden's campaign in May. During the 2016 campaign Saban was one of Hillary Clinton's largest donors

Oh you.

In other words, this is fantastic. Maybe the fears of him admitting higher tax rates over the rich were not as warranted? We'll see though, still too soon to tell.

sure does

"I'm not suggesting we put Muslims through some kind of torture room to get them to admit they are or they're not terrorists," he is quoted as telling The Wrap in a story posted Wednesday, "but I am saying we should have more scrutiny." Suggesting that some civil liberties may need to be suspended in the face of security threats, he asked rhetorically: "You want to be free and dead? I'd rather be not free and alive."

"It's a wake-up call. I fully believe we're in a different kind of World War III," said Saban, who is a major supporter of Hillary Clinton in her bid for the White House. "

When the alternative is a completely broken economy because of how COVID-19 is being handled, I think companies would rather take the tax hike.

Fuck em

THey should have been on the side of a stable society from the beginning if they had half a brain but apparently being wealth makes you think that selfish isolationism and tax evasion/theft is somehow a viable way to move forward

It shouldn't take the crumbling of America to see fucking reason but here we are

Biden is beholden to these billionaire donors for sure. He'll have their best interests at heart should he win in November. I wish American workers could say the same.

Always "loved" how Saban has all these billions but always paid his actors peanuts on Power Rangers. Fucking asshole.

Tbf I think old Rupie's numerous spouses over the years have just been engaging in a nice bit of wealth redistribution, rather than any great love for that prune. Fair play to them I say.

kinda surprising

www.cnbc.com

Biden tells donors: I'm going to get rid of most of Trump's tax cuts 'and a lot of you may not like that'

Biden's warning to his backers came as the candidate laid out an ambitious suite of policy goals during a virtual campaign fundraiser on Monday.

Biden also said he would raise the corporate tax rate to 28%, which he said would raise an estimated $1.3 trillion over the next decade. The Trump tax cuts had shrunk corporate taxes to 21% from 35%

I think there was bipartisan consensus to drop the rate, but not by as much. And of course, Dems also wanted to tighten up the code so there are fewer loopholes to lower liability.

I'm sure there are plenty of Dems who also wanted to enact a portion of this corporate giveaway. They are also trash.
