IGX

The same people, like Goldman Sachs, are funding both parties and both candidates, and have been for some time. I know that you have been told that no, there is no cabal of wealthy and powerful bankers pulling the strings behind the scenes, but this is as close to a map as you are likely to find. These same groups channel huge amounts of money into political causes via so-called Super PACs as well. You are not occupiers, you are the occupied.

Sssssshhhhhh.

Some of them want to believe.......

Wait. Are we about to discuss Jews?

I blame the unions.

Public sector unions are #3, #5, #7, and #10 on the list:

Most of the business groups, banks included, probably follow the standard 60/40 formula (60% to party in charge, 40% to the minority party).

I'm glad I was just off the bottom of these

WTF is the "University of California" Standord University, Columbia University and the "US Government" doing giving money in six figures or more to a Democratic Presidential candidate? Ain't that a conflict of interest?

Speaking of Jews [ ],I saw today that Sheldon Adelson, the Vegas mogul and Likud supporter (eighth richest person in the world ?) is donating millions to Romney's campaign. Previously, he had given 5 million to Gingrich's.

This guy? No way would he ever do anything corrupt. You can see it in his angelic face - he doesn't have an evil bone in his body. I'm sure he's only donating to Romney because he naively believes that Mitt will help underprivileged kids with it.

McCain is very, very concerned about Adelson, who is giving most of his money by way of the Super PACs. He wasn't too upset when he was taking his money in 2008, but now he's concerned. Because Adelson gets a fair amount of his fortune from a casino in Macau. He bitched about foreign money or something the other day.

McCain is a prick, Adelson is probably evil though.

I know how you shun the limelight so I just removed your name from the list, as an IGX bro-courtesy.

Means nothing really-- protecting interests like his is best done by paying members of Congress.
