(2,720 posts)...then it's not someone else's "word games" to use those words in context.
Because you use scare-quotes, you also clearly don't understand that the millions that this "encouragement" of people to donate, cannot include any threat or retaliation if you don't. Unions do the very same "encouragement", which is nothing more than simply asking people for political donations to a PAC. This is why many companies, including Goldman-Sachs, donate to both political parties. It's because some of the employees are democratic, and others are republican.
Further, there is absolutely no evidence that this represents the preponderance of political donations in this country. Millions is about right, while independent expenditures represent billions.
The real problem isn't corporations. It's a handful of billionaires who own corporations.
