Top CEOs give 10 time more money to John McCain

Posted by CD | Posted in U.S. Politics | Posted on 08-18-2008 | 1 Comment »

The Hill newspaper reports the top executives from the country’s largest companies have donated ten times more money to John McCain’s campaign than to Barack Obama’s. The chief executive officers of the 100 biggest Fortune 500 corporations have given McCain just over $218,000. Obama has received about $20,000 from the same CEOs. McCain has pledged to drastically cut the the corporate tax rate, a move that would save the country’s 200 largest corporations almost $45 billion a year. According to the Center for American Progress, eight companies would save over a billion dollars a year under McCain’s plan: Wal-Mart, AT&T, Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, Bank of America, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase.

Exxonmobil should hang their heads in shame. Those greedy pigs have raped whole eco-systems in exchange for nothing (a measly 500 million) and profited of relief funds (self appropriated after court rulings) to the tune of 20 billion since the Valdez ran aground.
Does corporate America control the government? United States you have lost your liberty. Does accountability have any reference to your society? Maybe we should expect more of the downward spiral that appears to be permeating from within when the social and conscious fabric of your society can blatantly allow Corporate America to tread all over decent and honest people whom are the very fibre of the fabric you wish to sew. Let there be just punishment for appropriate actions. And may you save yourselves because nobody else will nor can.

Sincerest regards
