I will accept a billion dollars! Although, I am not greedy and would have a lot of money left over to distribute to socialist and animal liberation movements. That’s something you’ll never hear the one-percenter-capitalists say! The rich ARE always with us.
Jamie Herda says
What? You will distribute to “socialist” movements?? What country are you living in? What animals need “liberating?” What have you been drinking?
