The Republicans have always catered to the rich, so I guess this should come as no surprise. Though truth be told, both parties are bought off.
Quote:
The preliminary findings by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics suggest that a financial industry trend favoring Republican candidates, which began in late 2009, may have accelerated as reform legislation progressed in the run-up to November's congressional mid-term elections. The Washington research group found that individuals and political action committees connected with the finance, insurance and real estate sectors gave 68 percent of their money to Republican interests in June, just before President Barack Obama signed financial reform into law
Yep;just the opposite of when bama got most of the campaign loot form wall street int eh presdiential election. With his and democrats anti-businesss satnce its no wander they changed.
What you are seeing is the anti-businesss and the what they thnik is happening. They always fiance what they think is a winnwer as in giving Obama the most last campaign.Just as they are fiancing the republican has Obama and democratic numbers are falling.Your source of Moore is a por one has there are plenty of main stream media coverage of wall strreet abondonig Obama and democrats from last election.
I do find it interesting though the way Wall Street started filling GOP pockets right at the time of the vote on financial reform..
Wall street always backs the majority it does not matter if the puppets have a {R} or a {D} on their jerseys.The {R}s did what they wanted them to do and that was not make a lot of noise on a weak bill. The other was not voting for the legislation but of course the hags from Maine and their new toy boy {Brown} bolted.
You take the HC debate and the {R}s and their base were very vocal,did you notice they were down to a whisper even here on the forum.
Who would you rather financially back the two parties, if not Wall Street and corporations? Chinese government? A poor politician is a dangerous politician.
The same Michael Moore who denied owning Haliburton but then his tax return said he made a 15% profit on Haliburton is going to lecture the rest of us about being corporate whores?
"Wall Street and its financial allies did an about-face in political spending in June, giving Republicans over two-thirds of their campaign contributions as Democrats pushed financial reform forward in Congress, a report said on Tuesday."
The reason for the change is campaign contributions flow to the party in charge. Everyone knows the Democrats are about to get tossed out on their a$$es.
And you cite an article by th every poor guy, Michael Moore and expect to be taken serious.
P.S, have you gotten out of college yet?
