This is the problem with the huge wealth inequality that billionaires and centi-millionaires represent. Anyone is welcome to have political opinions; some will be good, some will be bad. But these folks can leverage their wealth to project their ideas across the voting population. They can effectively drown out other opinions and perspectives because money buys ad time and mailer after mailer and armies of canvassers and paid staff that others cannot match.
