So how does that amount to unions buying votes?

by co opting them.

bob2356 says

Who did public employees unions influence to change their vote?

Same thing

You aren't making any sense. The vast majority of people who would be bureacratice government drones would have voted D anyway. How the hell do you co opt anyone into doing something they would have done anyway.

indigenous says

Some do, I think the Koch brothers do.

Pray tell. I'd like to know how you come up with that opinion when so much of their policital funding activity is totally secret and unaccounted for. No one except the Koch brothers knows who they fund and why.

It has to continue to be created or bought especially with people who are easily bought...

I have heard they fund the Cato institute and others:

At their level they all are quite philanthropic.

You've been taking logic and grammar lessons from the captain I see.

What does their public philanthropic donations have to do with their private and very secretive political donations? I don't have a problem with them funding their political agenda. It's certainly their right under the insane US election laws that allow pretty much unlimited spending.. I have a big problem with their being able to fund their agenda in secret. Soros funds a ton of money to the left. But it's all accounted for and in the public eye.

Poor white trash and rednecks have been voting republican for 50 years and they are still poor.

If the Koch Brothers were in Russia, they'd be called "Oligarchs".

How so?

Soros profits off of shorting currency at the expense of the US, Britain, and the Philippines to the tune of billions. But he is ok because it is transparent? If that is what he does in public what is he doing in secret, you don't think a guy like that is clean do you?

That link showed quite a bit, what is secret?
