Reply #24: I think it's closer to 50% for dems, 95% is pretty accurate for the GOP

On most pro-corporate legislation that gets through congress, you get about a 50/50 split between the Democrats and about 95% of the GOP voting in favor. If you take a more cynical approach I could see saying that maybe 60-65% are corporate controlled, but I think 75% is pushing it.

And the 50% of Dems that are pro-corporate, are still not as beholden as the GOP. Pretty much every Democrat will vote to raise the minimum wage or to stop Social Security from being turned over to Wall Street. Repubs get more corporate money because they make their number 1 priority support of the corporations. Democrats have some bread and butter issues that they have to put before corporations or they could not get elected as Democrats.
