Can you please provide data with this claim. I have data that says otherwise, but since you made the claim let’s see your proof. Or you can fizzle out and not back up any of your statements like always.

Hint. Corp can’t donate
Hint. look at ceo contributions

Again I don’t care which party you support, they are all hot garbage, but the preponderance of outlandish unverified claims on here clearly stems from a vocal minority. Please have integrity and stop spreading misinformation. It undermines anything of value that you are trying to convey(of which you have great points. )

This data may be corrupted until the feds push the official numbers, but I could not find a single source that refuted it. Feel free and I will be an adult and say I’m wrong.

“While both parties have their billionaires, Republicans have many more. Of the 25 top donors this cycle, 18 are Republican, according to Open Secrets, and they have outspent Democrats by $200 million. Billionaires make up 20 percent of total Republican donations compared with 14.5 percent of Democratic donations.”

If you can’t support your claim will you be mature and admit your error?

If anyone is curious why I’m on this soap box is because I was subjected to 5 years of uncontrolled propaganda spewing by the left seat. I smile and wave and be a cameleon like I’m paid to, but man it gets old

How crazy is it that railroad management at the behest of hedge fund investors have cut workforce by 30% and cut ((ALL)) sick leave because they do not have the staffing to run the railroad if employees call in sick? It is beyond nuts that a guy told his wife of chest pain, but he had to go to work and flipping died of a preventable heart attack on the job.

And Ted Cruz is blabbing on Fox that this is "socialist" and the Senate should not be involved when (1) his own staff starts with 20 days paid sick & (2) Ted Cruz is a graduate of f'n HARVARD LAW SCHOOL it isn't like he doesn't fully know that the Railroad Labor Act specifies the exact remedy that the President (and that any President) has to follow. Cruz just likes to see things burn, especially if he thinks he can promote himself.

Just in case you need a picture of the ******* that got us (Americans) here:

By the way, Mr. Akerman's net worth is $3,500,000,000.

Cutting workers' pay, pays well.

So Ted Cruz is advocating the government not doing anything? That sounds like it is more pro-labor than the D's position.

Ted Cruz wanted to see the rail workers strike not for the benefit of the rail workers. He wanted to see the world burn so he could blame it on the party in charge. Let's not confuse the two.

I don’t necessarily disagree but, does it matter? End result is still the same

So which way do YOU want it to go CB?

A:Gov intervene and impose contract on workers, or

B: Let workers strike and feel the effects?

At this point it is political; and as the saying goes, politics make for strange bedfellows.

(It’s not despair. It’s liberating. Why obsess over things you’ll never be able to change when there are so many opportunities to live an adventurous life? Especially in this line of work.)
