        @MotherJones It's the .01%'s version of crowdfunding, but the funders don't get to chose what project they pay for. @LastWeekTonight

        @MotherJones billionaires using American tax-payers to pay for their stadiums. #NFL #Bengals are the worst!

        @MotherJones Which begs question: why don't taxpayers hold elected officials accountable?

        @JoannaCocoGrove @MotherJones The Braves move to Cobb Co happened in behind the scenes meetings. When it went public, deal was already done

        @CubeRobsSoul @MotherJones I get it but voters must then push those involved elected officials out.

        @JoannaCocoGrove @MotherJones they can vote them out, but deal is already done and their taxes raised. Next Commissioners can't/won't change

        @CubeRobsSoul @MotherJones Voting them out at least sends a message
