Top All-Time Political Donors List

[eflatminor]

Fair point, though plenty of money gets to Ds from liberal billionaires and Super PACs...let's not delude ourselves here. And plenty of corporations are just as 'up front' about their donations as the unions, whether they're giving to Ds or Rs.

Bottom line, Rs do get more than Ds from Super PACs. D's get more than Rs from organizational donors and regular PACs.

And as any good libertarian would point out, they're both corrupt as hell.

But all of that still changes the underlying point.

It is the Democrat Party that is the true captive to corporate interests, contrary to the pop culture and media narrative.

An even better point

Unions are not "corporate interest" they're labor unions...they are the opposite of corporate interest. What kind of nut calls labor unions "corporate interests"...do you think it's the CEO's heading those labor unions??? Do the CEO's or executives write the union's donation checks???

Of course not. Labor Unions represent the interest of the worker, as oppose to the executives and the investers....which would be corporate interest.

Both parties get plenty of money from big donors and big business this idea that one is the party of the rich and the other the party of the working man is utter bullshit both cater to whoever writes them the biggest check and that is not the middle class.

No, communistic dirttballs like Andy Stern run union interests.

Unlike corporations that need to produce something that others will pay for, they get their operating resources by way of forced "contributions" from union membership.

Almost like living on a plantation, don't ya think?

Ummm...okay?

That doesn't change anything about Unions not being about corporate interests.

Both parties get money from both sides, but it's clearly Republicans that's at least "more" on the side of the top 1%.

So, they're union interests.

What makes them any less a self-interested organization than a corporation?

Do grossly ovepaid asshats like Andy Stern really do so much more for union membership than CEOs do for the corporation's employees?

A grip. Get one.

I repeat utter bullshit look at how well the Stock Market and Wall Street which is mainly the 1% people have done under Obama compared to main street they have benefited far more from the Obama policies than the middle class that has been going on for five years now and there is no indication it will change in the next three.

You're trying too hard. A Union is nothing more than a business based on pure corruption. Politicians give Unions contracts and power for votes and donations... donations that comes from the contracts paid for by everyone, even people that don't support that Union or politician getting the donations.


Ooor do you really believe this is not how it works... because, it is... And in fact if it switched over to Unions doing this cycle with Republicans as the majority beneficiary you would more than likely demand Unions be disbanded... Kind of how you prolly want that top 1% to be limited on their donation sizes...

You're an evil person who supports evil corrupt Government is the problem, and you're just to partisan to give a shit. Hell, you;re not even capable of seeing it as being 2 wrongs, just 1 wrong (republicans) and 1 right, that right being Democrat trying to play catch-up to stop the big ol meanie republicans.
