So Who’s your Pharma?

Don’t think that Special Interests/PACs are taking over the Government?

Well check this out…

In a  joint investigation, Sunlight Foundation and the Center for Responsive Politics, found a much more tangled web of money they anyone original thought.

Turns out that the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., is the big “winner” by taken in over $660,000 from Jan. 2007 to June 2009 from 73 different Clients and Lobbyists that represent various pharmaceutical companies.

Not to be out done or alone, you can also find Republicans topping the charts, including formal Presidentican candidate John McCain. (Do take a look at McCain’s contributor list… Looks like Wall Street made another bad decision…)

Absent from the list…

Barack Obama, but you can still find details on his campaign, and as Michael Moore incorrectly states in the movie ‘Capitalism‘, Goldman Sachs ($994,795) was NOT the biggest contributor, but number two, behind University of California ($1,591,395).

Needless to say, there is allot more money coming from the corporations then anywhere else…

If you would like to read the full report “Hidden ‘Bundles’ of Lobbyist Giving Show Full Court Press by Health Care Donors“… and be ready to cry or get really angry!

So much for “By the people”…
