Title: Follow the money to a yea vote
Post by: Belle on June 23, 2015, 11:10:02 PM

...on Obamatrade.  This information is from last month & shows how much politicians were paid for their yea vote on Fast-track.

"Out of the total $1,148,971 given, an average of $17,676.48 was donated to each of the 65 “yea” votes."

"The average Republican member received $19,673.28 from corporate TPP supporters."

"The average Democrat received $9,689.23 from those same donors."

"The amounts given rise dramatically when looking at how much each senator running for re-election received."

My home state; I had such high hopes for Scott:  "Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, who will be running for his first full six-year term in 2016, received $67,500 from pro-TPP corporations."

I've always said democrats are cheap, dime a dozen.

Oh come on Tim, don't be a disappointment to us.
