How many upper and mid-level Big Business executives and wannabe leaders vote Democratic? Bernie Schwartz. (He also did an excellent job of bribing Slick.) Ted Turner. Numerous Hollywood types. How may Big Businesses contribute money to Democratic candidates? All? Certainly a lot. It's common for them to contribute to both parties. What percentage of Big Business poltical contributions go to Democrats versus Republicans? Federal Election Commission might have the numbers. I'll leave the homework to you. If union membership splits Dem-Rep 55-45, why don't the unions split the contributions that way? Are they democratic? Or would left wingnuts like you lose your ability to corrupt politicians? Why not let union members opt out of having part of their dues go to political purposes? Why do these democratic (LOL! Jimmy Hoffa, anyone?) organizations known as unions fight that so hard?
