Re: "Big business spends on both parties." The Big Business breakdown in '00 was 60% to GOP and 40% to Dems. Republicans outspent Democrats significantly in '00. Re: "It's sort of protection money and they want to be covered whoever wins." Agreed. Re: "At least businesses contribute their own money unlike unions who force people to contribute." No difference between a Big Business political contribution and a labor organization contribution. None. As a shareholder of Corporation X, am I asked whether the company has my OK to send $10,000 to the Republican National Committee? Of course not.
