    Lets entertain this thought a bit. I have a few questions:

    1. Why would billionaires like Koch or Musk waste Billions on compaigns instead of a new Yacht, diamond mines, or perhaps just committing whatever horrible crime nad buying their way out of it? Seems like they really care who wins.

    2. Why does the federal government sometimes stop mergers or expand the IRS to audit the super wealthy? Such as the Kroger Albertsons merger and the IRS funding under Inflation Reduction Act which will be used to audit earners over $10 Million usd.
