How much did corporate management waste on the election?

Or would you rather only look at a small part of the story?

Corporate management uses their own money to play.

Unions use other peoples money.

Typical of the left.

Agreed. The us chamber of commerce (no affiliation with the united states government) spent unheard amounts of foreign communist, muslim, and indian funds on the republicans.

Your joking right?

Corporate money wasn't a huge factor in this election cycle? All the corporate executives who purchased advertising or "donated" to the USCOC so they could advertise anonymously did it with money out of their own pocket? Sorry, no. I was money out of corporate coffers.

By the way, the overwhelming majority of full time union workers have health insurance. It's one of the things the union gets on the employee members behalf.

How many times over could we have paid for a single payer health care system if we weren't in two unnecessary wars?!!?!

If you compare the cost of the wars to the cost of the healthcare law then the answer is zero. The health "care" law is much more expensive.

Really? The cost of the wars since 2001 is $1.1 Trillion dollars. No estimate puts HCR that high. But, don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.

If corporations did not donate, would that mean more money for shareholders? Maybe those donations come from dividends.

My point is that no one uses their own money in politics; except, maybe, for millionaire candidates.

Or maybe even more employee salaries thereby lowering unemployment? You know, like that 'trickle-down' thingy was supposed to do?
