This is such a disingenuous comment. People are allowed to be displeased with how these very wealthy people have spent their money without being told "hrmm, well maybe you should vote with your dollar!!"

No, it's their money, they may as well burn it. Why should we care, we didn't earn it and we have no right to it.

It'd be different if we were talking about government funding. Companies and individuals can and should be able to do with their assets as they please.

This is some Randian "no society, only individuals" level of commentary. I dont have to have a "right" to their money to find how they spend it objectionable, and I sure as hell don't need to act like their actions won't have second and third order effects. Everything is connected, and the sooner we get away from this idea that individuals operate in a bubble, the sooner we will all benefit.
