In this quote, Betsy DeVos is openly acknowledging her family’s significant financial contributions to the Republican party through “soft money” donations. However, she goes further by directly stating that they “expect a return on our investment” through these political donations.

DeVos appears to be brazenly confirming that her family sees these donations as a way to gain political influence and favors, rather than simply supporting a cause they believe in.

The quote suggests DeVos no longer finds it objectionable when people accuse her of “buying influence” and has decided to frankly admit that is indeed her family’s goal and expectation in return for making large political donations according to this interpretation.
