Corporate Contributions to Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum
One of the more interesting donors is Citizens United. Yes ... the very Citizens United that declared corporations or foreign entities could have unrestrained financial control of our elections. Hedge funds support Romney in power because they currently benefit from a favorable rate of taxation, and they want to keep it that way. I wonder how many of those hedge fund and financial entities have offshore accounts alongside Mitt!
One component the pie charts do not reflect is individual contributions ... that accounts for about half of Obama's contributions and 10 % of Romney's.
