Something the orange one would never understand. To accept the money is to say it is ok for them to be there, when it is not. It is a moral stand. Something Republicabs would never understand.

My dad was rich but he was a controlling and abusive asshole. I mean really bad. At one point while I was pregnant, he tried to go after my husband. (I believe he was bipolar). I stepped between them. He put his hands on my throat and squeezed. He made a real attempt to choke me. I threatened the cops on him. He said he was leaving to get his gun. A week or so later, I told my mom (his ex-wife, but she still talked to him despite his physical abuse to her) that I did not want any of his money. This is a man who paid for his car and house in cash. I took a moral stand. I got a restraining order and I lived in a house with the blinds pulled down for years. (At one point he threatened mom and she came home to bullet holes in the door). Sure, you could say I could have accepted his money and run with it. You could say I was cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I just don’t see it that way. I see someone who was horrible and for whom I would not sell out just to get his cash. Cuba feels the same way.
