GE, WALMART, AT&T, GOOGLE AMONG CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS DONORS
Breitbart ^ | 12/13/13 | BEN SHAPIRO

Posted on 12/13/2013 6:45:47 PM PST by listenhillary

On Friday, the Obama- and Clinton-allied Center for American Progress finally revealed its long-sought corporate donor list after heavy pressure arising from CAP’s quasi-lobbying history. That scrutiny ratcheted up following the announcement that CAP founder John Podesta would be formally joining the Obama administration.

Donors are giving protection money; from the mafia. This is no different from Chiquita donating to the Columbian thugs for “protection”. Until our nation (hopefully) returns to a lawful society, such will be the norm. Do you see Walmart NOT being audited? Do you see any law enforcement body protecting them from 0bummer /Holder/IRS???? Tell me, what choice do they have?

Big business loves socialism.

It crushes competition and government pays them money taken from taxpayers by force.

That is, the felon and former Nazi operative Gorge Soros.

This!! That's why I always get amused when the little dummy “progressives” ie Marxists always yammer on about big business/wall street/corporate this or that. MOST big business are left wing supporters. MOST.

Go look at Forbes recent list of richest Americans and see who is the top 25. Most if not all the multi billionaires listed are well know supporters of centralized authoritarian government and one world charity/political bullshit.

PS.
And the one or two out of 25 that may throw a bone to some conservative cause get dragged out in the media and by loons in the entertainment industry as being “right wing” or “hate filled” yadda yadda.

Sort of like when the left calls Fox News, “Faux News” because it’s ONE channel out of hundreds of outlets in the media that doesn’t do knee jerk conservative bashing.

Dennis Prager points this out frequently-despite the leftist propaganda to the contrary, Big Business is not “conservative.” It follows the path of least resistance, and these days that means leftism.

Correct. ALSO, they are partners in any move that benefits them whether socialist or fascist. Big Government is the catalyst for — and beneficiary of — ALL corporate corruption joined with government corruption.

They are two sides of the same coin.

I saw a ketchup documentary on the Smithsonian Channel earlier this year.

When the Food Act was being formulated to regulate food safety over a century ago, H.J. Heinz supported the idea because his large scale operation could bear the costs better than his competitors.

Pay us or we turn the union and labor board loose on you.

Walmart chose to pay.

It is, mostly, but the CEO just dumped all over the conservatives in the Republican party with the budget deal.

:-(

So sad.

I don’t know that anyone is surprised

You know they don’t donate to conservative groups because the MSM would assault them
