[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1330167"]Why the election makes a huge difference even if you're a major cynic: [quote]68.4 percent of Obama's money has come from donors giving $999 or less in the 2012 campaign. 36.2 percent of Romney's money has come from donors giving $999 or less in the 2012 campaign.[/quote] http://www.sacbee.com/2012/09/30/4864698/small-donors-dollars-add-up-for.html [quote]Top Romney Contributors Goldman Sachs $965,140 Bank of America $844,734 Morgan Stanley $768,216 JPMorgan Chase & Co $749,918 Credit Suisse Group $588,841 Wells Fargo $524,601 Deloitte LLP $477,812 Kirkland & Ellis $470,672 Citigroup Inc $448,408 Barclays $426,800 PricewaterhouseCoopers $386,835 UBS AG $363,160 HIG Capital $362,500 Blackstone Group $354,725 Elliott Management $281,925 EMC Corp $278,450 Bain Capital $277,970 Rothman Institute $263,700 Ernst & Young $254,875 General Electric $247,270[/quote] The first financial CEO who would ever be President wants to be elected on mostly financial sector money just a few years after financial CEOs crashed the economy. It's one thing for banks and other big businesses to be on a donors list; they always donate to both Presidential candidates, like JP Morgan this year for instance, but the one-sided domination of Romney's list by Wall Street is just unprecedented. If the last few years have been about populist uprisings on the left, right, and center against big finance, the joke sure was on all of us if this guy is even being considered. [quote]Top Obama Contributors University of California $927,568 Microsoft Corp $680,769 Google Inc $661,996 Harvard University $535,405 US Government $528,603 Kaiser Permanente $426,407 Stanford University $414,266 Deloitte LLP $400,034 DLA Piper $388,877 Time Warner $362,012 Columbia University $347,092 Sidley Austin LLP $345,404 Comcast Corp $304,549 University of Chicago $289,346 IBM Corp $280,089 US Dept of State $267,179 University of Michigan $254,822 Skadden, Arps et al $250,186 Wells Fargo $246,155 JPMorgan Chase & Co $235,635[/quote] http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/contrib.php?id=N00000286 http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/contrib.php?id=N00009638 Is wealth mostly created in our society by creativity and hard work in technology and research, or just by trading back and forth existing money without actually doing anything? Which group of companies has had too much power, and certainly doesn't deserve an extra golden parachute with the Presidency attached? Seems like a no-brainer to me.[/QUOTE]
