You can't see because you're a normal, presumably decent human being and not a myopic, sociopath with a money addiction... who thinks their net worth gaining a few MORE lifetime's worth of money is ultimately more important than things like other people's livelihoods, health, and happiness, or even things like the larger long term economy, the stability of our society, and the continuance of a functional democracy.

Well, when I look at where the serious billionaire money is going, it's to things like the Federalist Society and fancy vacations for Thomas and Alito, and all the state-level policy shops that produce so much horrible legislation that gets photocopied from one state legislature to another. One of the advantages of being a billionaire is you don't need to break the law to get what you want, because you MAKE the laws. That's been going on for decades and it's all been tremendously successful, no need to bother with some loony scheme dreamed up by law-school C-students when you've got the best lawyers in the country with a solid plan that's working for you.
