The GOP does a lot of corporate bundling. This makes it look like individuals are giving, but they're actually ordered to by the companies they work for. To be fair Dems do this to a lesser degree with law firms, though the GOP gets law firm contributions as well. There was a case last year regarding Denny Hastert getting hundreds of small donations from employees of a single company. I think it was even a Turkish company, which is probably illegal. Anyway this was clearly because the boss couldn't give more than the minimum so he ordered his employees to help him bundle. Happens all the time, especially with the big business-friendly GOP. Both parties get contributions from rich individuals, though the Democratic contributors obviously don't mind paying their fair share of taxes to contribute to their country. The rich misers generally give to the GOP.
