INSIGNIFICANT NUMBERS - "Employees of the top five U.S. arms manufacturers -- Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, General Dynamics and Raytheon -- gave Democratic presidential candidates $103,900, with only $86,800 going to the Republicans." These amounts of $'s are not large total amounts for a writer to claim that these firms are supporting one party over the other. Note that this is "employees" giving not firms----when one gives money to a Congressional or Presidential candidate one must state their occupation------required by election laws. Even if employees gave at the maximum of $2,300.00 that is only 45.17 employees(people and potential votes) for the Democrats for Hillary------- $103,900.00 divided by $2300.00 = 45.17 employees contributing (people)!!!!! At $50.00 per person-----we get 2078 people. The writers claim that the Democrats (i.e. HIllary is getting a lot of $ from the defense community is extreme exaggeration.) mj
