Did You Know?

The Wall Street Journal produced an end-of-the-decade recap, and it had some very interesting information.

One analysis depicted the top five donors to the Democratic party and Republican party.

Other than ActBlue, which is self-described as " the online clearinghouse for Democratic action", the top donors to the Democrats were all labor unions, donating $116 million. The top five donors to the Republican party were two companies and three industry associations, donating a total of $59 million.

Add the ability to deliver volunteers for political activities, and now you know why labor unions are so critical to the Democratic party - and it helps explain Barack Obama's massive payoff to unions in the "stimulus" bill, the auto bailout, and other policies.
