I published the data a week or so ago, and you ignored it. Even in an era when most incumbents are Republican, business donors give about 40% to Democrats.

From what you post you are saying that the individual union member should have no say in who his money should support. Hardly a democratic arrangement. Please don't belabor the old line that salaried people have no choice either. The hourly far out number them. Besides a wrong is a wrong. I see a lack of understanding on the inner workings of a corporation. Money accumulated in a corporate treasury must remain there unless given out as a dividend to share holders or used in some corporate enterprise such as buying another company, expansion, share buy backs or salary bonuses. The law limits the avenues under which funds may be removed from a corporate treasury. Simply making a fat treasury does little unless the funds are put to productive use. Most corporations are publicly owned which explains why you and the rest of us find ourselves on SI. It also means that as share holders we are able to exercise some degree of input as to how our company is run. JFH
