Dear News Media:
Please stop sugarcoating these brigands by calling them "philanthropists". Donating $$$ to glitzy arts outlets does not wash away the stain of infiltrating the political process in order to screw over the general population. Or, at least mention their nefarious political activities alongside the arts-themed platitudes.
Sincerely,
The 99%
