Barrack Obama, The $20 Million Dollar Man
“Representative government has broken down. Our politicians represent not the people who vote for them but the commercial interests who finance their election campaigns. We have the best politicians that money can buy.”-Edward Abbey
I appreciate fellow Abbey aficionado Kris for bringing this one to my attention. Looks like most of our Congress Critters and our current Commander-In-Chief have been counting a lot of health industry dollars over the years.
The data shown on the chart includes contributions from individuals and political action committees to lawmakers’ campaign committees and leadership PACs for the period of 1989 through 2009. Obama took a whopping $20,144,316.00
This is the man that’s going to finally bring us healthcare?
