Corporations, Banks, Hedge Funds, etc.. BUY ALL POLITICIANS.. Ron Paul is not immune.. And IF he becomes a legitimate candidate to win the presidency... Then Goldman will pour the money into his coffers as well
Dude, these ranking ARE NOT CORPORATE DONATIONS. When you make a donation to a political candidate you have you put your employment AND who you work for. I'm sure Goldman Sachs loves to hear Ron Paul wanting to abolish their Piggy Bank.
Then Obama's donations, Romney's donations, Cain's and Perry's really don't make a difference either... If there small or large donations from individuals make a difference so does Paul's.. Who has received as much large contributions as he has small contributions 6,075,354 (48%) tp 6,114,372 (48%).... But I guess to you that doesn't make a difference
And you're naive to think that no matter how Goldman feels about Ron Paul if he was even REMOTELY a LEGITIMATE candidate for the Presidency they would play their bets on him as well..
But because he is not a legitimate candidate there is no point for a donation to him. Let him win the Republican Nomination you will see how many corporations will play their bets on every number on the Roulette table including his..
To be intellectually honest which you refuse to be... Goldman and other corporations donate based on the relative chances that person has in winning the election.. So Obama, Romney, Cain, Perry have far larger donations than Huntsman or Paul...
Just be honest with yourself... The more legitimate the candidate the more funds he can raise in total from people... The more chance he has in winning, the more likely he is to get significant donations from corporations who put their hands in everyone's pocket...
Ron Paul's only immunity from this is NO ONE TAKES HIM AS A SERIOUS CANDIDATE.
Also in terms of small contributions Obama (46%) and Paul (48%) ... Whereas Mitt has 10%
