Yes. It goes to show you how people can use statistics to distort anything.

As a quick anecdotal check of those statistics, let's take a look at the following article. Just a handful of American companies combined far outgave our INITIAL U.S. gov't donation. That demonstrates how misleading those figures are that Tejek posted.
