WP: The new Gilded Age: Close to half of all super-PAC money comes from 50 donors

Yeah, but how many are Jewish? The article does not say.

How many are Muslim?

Comment: “I count at least 23 of the 50 as Jewish. Those are just the ones that I could confirm quickly from the first page or two of G**gle search results, plus the ones I already knew of. There are probably more.”

Washington Post: A small core of super-rich individuals is responsible for the record sums cascading into the coffers of super PACs for the 2016 elections, a dynamic that harks back to the financing of presidential campaigns in the Gilded Age.

Close to half of the money β€” 41 percent β€” raised by the groups by the end of February came from just 50 mega-donors and their relatives, according to a Washington Post analysis of federal campaign finance reports. Thirty-six of those are Republican supporters who have invested millions trying to shape the GOP nomination contest β€” accounting for more than 70 percent of the money from the top 50.
