also if you look at it.  for the most part the corporations seem to give to both parties whereas the dems have the unions locked up.  there are exceptions but generally this seems to be the case.

Right now they are.  Wait a few more years. The law isn't but a year or two old.  And that study encompasses 1989 to 2010.  

I wouldn't doubt that since 1989 Unions have donated the most.  Like i said, limit them all.

OK.  I thought you were saying that unions do not give as much in political donations as corporations.

But the comparison is a farce.  Unions are a problem in America, but they do not have near the money GE, Sachs, Exxon etc do.

according to the link i just posted the labor unions are far ahead of both GE and Sachs with regards to political donations

At least Exxon does something productive! 

AFT, CSEA, AFSCME, et al do nothing but make things drastically worse for taxpayers.

True, but the law is barely a 2 years old if that. 

And that study is 1989 to 2010, 20 years of limited by law donations from corporations.

Let's see how it reads from 2010 to 2020.

What i am saying is, now that the law has changed, corporations have far more money to donate than unions.

And?  At least they donate to both sides, the unions are overwhelmingly lopsided.

Where I live, the public employee parasite unions get the worst of the filth elected time and time again and fuck over the taxpayer.   

To me, union money is way worse.    Many corps are paying the equivalent of "leave me alone money", whereas the unions advocate for higher taxes for more spending.

Your arguments against Unions seem valid to me, although i haven't really researched the issues much.  but this isn't about Unions although they are a factor in our problems.  I think we will have even worse problems, less true representation in government because of this law.

It remains a double-edged sword though.  You want to impinge on basic 1st amendment rights, so...

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
