IMO what is insane is that the biggest business for big business is politics. Do not think for a minute he spent so much out of ideological reasons, those kind of people rarely knead vast fortunes. In the end billionaires have their be$t intere$t in mind and for him it was an investment from the which he would have made vast profits if successful.

So forget about funding science and technology, those are long terms investments, the 0.1% which owns the 50% of the wealth wants quick returns, they would not mind increasing their margin to 90%, creating wealth is difficult, getting their paws into others people money is what is in right now >_<
