Of course it is.
People are not the companies they work for.
Period. " Many of the donations are from top ranking Googlers like Eric Schmidt who directly interact with these politicians in a business sense." "many". Opensecrets lists 503 unique people identified as googlers donating. I don't believe you have any reasonable argument that there are 503 top ranking googlers who interact directly with these politicians in a business sense. I think you can argue maybe 1-2% of them are. So 98% of them somehow don't fall into what you consider "many of the donations".
That doesn't seem like many to me. "Unsurprisingly, almost all pro-Google legislation is sponsored by the same Congresspeople who have received the largest donations from Googlers." What is "pro-google"?
Who are "the same congresspeople"? Can you give specific examples of pro-google legislation and congresspeople who have repeatedly passed them, where there largest donations were from google? I see a tremendous amount of handwaving in your comment, but pretty much no real data. |
Did you read the leaked Sony email where one exec was hounding all the other execs to make large donations to a particular politician?
