Holding Politicians Accountable
And we’re all:
I don’t believe that the men and women who defended American democracy fought to create a situation where billionaires own the political process.
USA Today: “Charles Koch said he is considering throwing his political might into the Republican presidential primary for the first time and is likely to provide financial help to several contenders before settling on a single candidate.”
[Paul] Ryan is known as a serious policy guy, but in reality his budget is a wish list for wealthy interests. He put forth a policy agenda that matches up with the funding constituencies of the Republican Party.
For three years, Wall Street’s been telling the world how much it can’t stand President Barack Obama.
Now, thanks to campaign finance filings, it’s possible to put a price tag on just how much: Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign and the super PAC supporting it are outraising Obama among financial-sector donors $37.1 million to $4.8 million.
