Didn't you post the numbers that corporate contributions go about 50/50 to both parties? Someone on this thread did post to that effect.

I noticed you completely dodged my question about why your company was ripping you off by charging $500 per year for your wife's coverage. A bit misleading to say YOUR insurance went up $500 per year because they made $120 million instead of $140 million. Proves nothing except that you don't like the company you work for. Now I will show why your logic is again INCORRECT regarding political contributions. "Same happens (on a much larger scale) with Democratic shareholders of Corporation X, whose campaign contributions support Republican candidates and nothing but Republican candidates" Shareholders choose what they want to invest in. Your comparison is laughable. If someone doesn't like what a company stands for, they don't have to invest in them. It is a CHOICE they make, and it is usually based on the return they think they will get on their investment. The Union guys GIVE money to the Union becuase THEY HAVE TO. If I was forced to give money to the dems I would be pissed, as I expect many repub union members are. Do you not get stuff like this? If so, I am glad to help out. If not, then you are purposely twisting facts to support your position. Not very nice, but then again its not very convincing either.
