"Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will raise money on Wall Street on Wednesday at an eye-popping $100,000 per-ticket Park Avenue event hosted by private equity mogul Henry Kravis and his wife.
The price of admission to the event, which will raise funds for Bushs Right to Rise super PAC, surprised even Wall Street veterans used to high-dollar fundraisers.
The event comes as Bush continvues a shock and awe approach to early 2016 fundraising that people close to the campaign say could eventually see the former governor reach a total of between $50 million and $100 million between the super PAC, a traditional political action committee and an eventual presidential campaign."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) breaks it down.

(750 posts)Laughing at myself while thinking about abstract, inverse, oxymoron mainstream media surface interpretation of big money.
I just cant stop chuckling and laughing even though Im making the conversion to retirement digging into some politics and government business operations I have never really had time to pursue.
America is in an incredible or weird social structure and worse a media infrastructure wreck.
Here we have very rich money management people paying for a so called dinner for Jeb Bush. Seems like these rich billionaires pitch in nothing more than raising Dues Money like Unions need to perform.
Only the money is recirculated bailout money tapped from taxes you and I gave via that last Bush banking swindle. Tax dollars from all the top friends of the American Bush crime syndicate.
So at one end of the economic spectrum we have crooks and crazies like the Bush family creating their own Union, but call it a dinner and dance. But for the common John Doe to kick in Union Dues for pizza and beer is not American, and totally wrong.
Likely these billionaires are paying illegal immigrants less than a living wage, while they get served food that is fresh and difficult to get for the ordinary electorate, then being served at some exclusive place in plush New York Park Ave.
It just amazing that the roof doesnt fall on them, or better Al Qaeda or Isis crash the party with a 747.
