Letters to the Editor

Democrats enjoy support from big-money donors

In his syndicated column “An act of hypocrisy and necessity” (Feb. 13) Leonard Pitts attacks the Supreme Court’s Citizen United decision by stating that corporations can now spend unlimited amounts on campaigns as well as the wealthy. He deliberately fails to point out that unions and citizens organizations were also freed to spend on campaigns. Why are then only corporations and billionaires singled out? They are American citizens as well as unions.

What seems to be universally ignored is the fact that the president received overwhelming financial support from Wall Street, major banks like Goldman Sachs, corporations such as GE and billionaires such as George Soros. The myth that big money only supports Republicans, perpetuated by the media, is a long-term national scandal that conceals the secret that the Democrat party supports big money, not the little guy.
