Donation brings casino tycoon and Israeli newspaper owner's contributions to Republican candidate to $10m. in two months.
...Adelson, who also owns Israel Hayom, one of the most widely read newspapers in Israel, is deeply involved in Israeli politics and is known for his staunch support of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
The Boston-born billionaire also donates millions each year to Jewish and Israeli causes. Last December he gave $5 million to Taglit-Birthright, which brings Jewish young adults from the Diaspora on a free trip to Israel. That same month he gave $25 million dollars to the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.
Adelson's net worth in 2011 according to Forbes magazine was $21.5 billion, making him the 16th wealthiest person in the world.
The four candidates for the Republican nominee for President all have superpacs. Rep. Ron Paul is spending $1.4 million in Florida. The superpacs are now the reality of American politics. Unfortunately, the elections within the USA appear to be moving further and further from the reach of the average citizen. This new 'allowance' by the Robert's Court is not only unconstitutional, but, a move against the sovereignty of the USA into the hands of the plutocrats. More and more the American people have to begin to make election choices on the interests of removing plutocratic control of their government.
Read their lips, "No new taxes!"
