re: #167 Varek Raith

Exactly my point. I will join you in complaining about the influence of corporations on the GOP, but you show your ignorance, because corporations are not monolithically republican. They are split in their donations between Republican and Democrat. The public-sector unions are 90+% in the camp of Democrats, and actively campaign for increased public spending specifically because it financially benefits them.

The difference between us is that I will condemn those influences on both parties, but you seem to imploy that corporate influence on GOP (let’s be generous and say 60% of corporate donations go to Republicans, when it’s closer to 50-50), but you won’t agree that near unanimous support of one party which pays you back with wage and benefit increases so that your compensation package is better than private workers doesn’t amount to the worst kind of special interest kickbacks?
