If I'm a billionaire then I can easily afford to fly to another country to marry a man/woman if I want to. I can probably afford to never interact with a homophobe as well.
If I'm a billionaire then I can easily have myself or my significant other fly to another country in order to get an abortion.
If I'm a billionaire then I can safely assume that neither party will affect the tax code to the point where I won't be at the top of the economic ladder, and that there will be opportunities to work the tax code in my favor. I can probably purchase favors from members of either party as well.
If I'm a billionaire then I can move my entire family away from areas that are affected by fracking.
If I'm a billionaire then I can pay anyone in my family/friends circle to work for me instead of joining the military.
I really don't think that anyone with the mentality of a Koch or a Walton really gives two flying farts of a rats butthole about any of the aforementioned issues, and that is why we are allowed to squabble over them. I never said that these issues weren't important, but when you look at issues like climate change or the out of control "defense" industry, it's difficult for me to see them as being on that level of importance.
