Money’s perspective on campaigns reveals the staggering extent to which financial backing shapes the electoral landscape. He states, "I built Tammany Hall and Teapot Dome! And Trump Tower!" highlighting his role in influential political scandals and campaign funding.
When reflecting on election costs, Money notes the disparity by saying, "Ten to twenty million for a mayor's office-small potatoes compared to the cost of a Senate seat In Ohio, or the price of the White House." This emphasizes how funding scales with political ambition.
Money humorously insists, "If I give you my name or address, the next thing I know I'll be swamped with funding appeals." This underscores the privacy and control wealthy donors seek in political funding.
The conversation reveals the inherent disconnect in voter priorities. Money remarks, "You mean some voters care what the candidates say about the cost of a gallon of milk?" This suggests that wealthy interests overshadow the genuine concerns of the electorate.
