@TryHardSasquatch You've gotta admit, this is somewhat a step in the right direction.

@TheDarkWayne Correct, the stuff he owns (i.e. stock) is worth over a billion but he doesn't have $1 billion liquid assets. Think of it like being a homeowner. Your house is worth $300,000, but if you sold it on the market, would you get $300K for it? Maybe yes, maybe no (as a lot of people are seeing nowadays) plus the thousands it sometimes costs to sell said house. The same goes for stocks, as many dot-com people in 1999-2001 learned the hard way.

@lessthankris Game of Thrones OnDemand?

I didn't know Henry Rollins worked at Bioware!

@Mcmax3000 You're forgetting the factories! And the....um.....post office shipping yard!

Just a tip for those of you not from the Boston area: If you see Tim Murray surveying the convention site in his car late at night, you might want to dive for cover ASAP

@(Unverified) Oh god, the lines at the Hynes Center. That was a giant PITA. The location was a lot more convenient than Southie though.

@BillyBongThornton I didn't mention, or imply, anything about Obama in my post. I think you need to take a deeeep breath and step away from the keyboard for a few minutes.

@A Sandwich It's being played out like a joke, but they're making a serious point with it. Our campaign finance system is a joke and it's broken, and every time someone tries to change it for the better, the usual people find ways around it. The fact that SuperPACs exist in this election cycle show that the regulations are basically non-existent at this point and anyone can fund a candidate for as much as they want at this point.

The sad thing is the only way people can have this brought to their attention is by sugar coating it with humor and satire.

@vaajtswv That's not how tax deductions work
