interesting look by the New York Times into which companies
are the most republican now
if you've been following the news you might think Koch Industries
you run by Charles and David Koch they've given literally
hundreds of millions of dollars the Republican Party and two candidates
now if you look at the amount they've given yes Koch Industries would
certainly be in the lead
but if you look at the percentage they're not it's actually the company
that owns wonderbra was literally making them my bread republicans
so but it is a company called flower foods
they make Casey cakes nature's own Wonder Bread
and 99 percent their political contributions
have gone to the republican party says 1979
so that they're now playing they're not interested in democrats
they haven't been interested before they're not interested now
they're not likely to be interested later and be so long period of time
where they're like
seriously we don't like democrats can we really like turbo
so since the end of the reagan presidency they've given
five thousand dollars to democratic candidates and
409,000 to republican candidates okay so you get a sense of where they stand
arm and too so this is this interesting
fun packs about which countries are which if you're a Republican you love it
here more wonder bread if you're a democrat maybe that makes you mad
to me though honestly in this list doesn't tell you much
at effectively spend less than Koch Industries
this to me what's more important unfortunately in this system that we
have now
you almost have to do some lobbying some political contributions
otherwise your competition is going to eat you up mind they're gonna go by of
the government so these guys have a lean Republican
I'm not bothered by that nearly as much as I am bothered by the system that
allows them
to bribe either side you know whichever side that there are
this funny though wiper head come a company that makes what white bread most
famous for making white bread
winds up being the coming to give the highest percentage
to public now what's number two but also funny
Cracker Barrel I
had eighty percent battery so they're already made up for it
cookbook number three's a little bit more understandable
a at the super PAC or Phillips international
the year just 1,400 dollars to do
to democrats and five hundred and forty-five thousand dollars
to republicans I'm and that's more understandable because
their financial information publishers so if you're in the finance industry you
do love you
some serious republicans and then this
further down list as Associated Builders and Contractors
and again they don't want the union's
and there more on the side Chamber of Commerce oh that sucks a little bit more
in federal probably the people who run
flowers foods in Cracker Barrel does happen only in republican
I M plus the food service industry also leans Republican as well as Herman Cain
was from if you remember
so fax you did not know before
that's what we do on the show will you be fun facts get
yes delays I am doesn't look like very little money that
that they contribute to the republican party like only 500,000 like now the
school would think that the theme like it that much
like a little thing just pisses 500 and sent it to the republicans
yeah it you know literally they don't because you're a fellow MFN tariff have
an everyday normal guy you're right I R
yet and i'd I know I delay such little on like five hundred thousand okay
yeah in essence 1979 that's why I'm not like that bother her if the mean okay
you like republicans
look yeah if we'd
fix the system and you got money out of politics and these companies are going
around systematically buying politicians
if 99 percent your company but a republican good I knew god bless you
okay we disagree
who cares right n in this I'm not
that heard back me hurt and bothered by
I'm her daughter quick K because its
relatively small amount of money whereas haces raid
adelson himself put in at least ninety million dollars
in the 2012 election not supplied these are not just in 2012 election
that's wholesale buying a party
specific and it's something you ninety million dollars you knew exactly what
they tell you
okay well as Wonder Bread name I
actually some other executives might earnestly give money to republicans
could be able even republicans
as opposed to trying to purchase them so they get
you know some financial benefit now I'm probably being too idealistic in their
regard to
and and you'd be surprised at how cheaply you could buy a politician
so that's also reality but now the we look at all the caps this is a united in
my coaching
the the auction has gotten such astronomical fees
the all school bribery seems quaint to us
or by the way anybody no way to fix that
wall dash back Dakar go
gate we stopped Wonder Bread we stop democratic companies we stop
unions we stop so wrong to stop the Koch brothers you stop wonder bread from
buying our politicians
the way to do is walk dash back dot com volunteer or be a member both helps
tremendously
