Billionaires Against Billionaires Funded by Billionaires
4th May 2026
During the California gubernatorial debate, Tom Steyer, who is a billionaire, claimed that the billionaires are out to get him.
“The billionaires and corporations are spending big in this race to oppose me and to support the other people on this stage,” he claimed.
This same statement is made by every Democrat in any race above the level of dog catcher, but when it’s being made by a candidate who is not only a billionaire, but whose only reason for running in any race is being a billionaire, that takes it to a whole other level of hypocritical grifting.
If Steyer were just a working class Bay Area millionaire like Gov. Gavin Newsom or Rep. Ro Khanna, but without their good hair and the connections to the Getty family, Willie Brown and Jeffrey Epstein, no one would have let the confused old leftist run for any kind of public office.
With billions in his pocket, Steyer is able to put $133 million on the table and buy himself a place as the front runner in the race after the previous front runner turned out to be a sex predator.
Democrats depend heavily on billionaire money and on claiming to hate billionaires while promising to tax billionaires, which they somehow never get around to actually doing.
