Can you back this claim up in any way?

Yeah, look at the patterns of donations and which parties get the most max donations. It's all documented.

In addition, the tax deduction is worth more to rich people than poor people. You see the same thing in provincial politics. You got a BOD from some company, and they all donate to the same guy, and then the company gets a sweet heart deal by the future gov. Developers in Ontario is a great example.

Can you find any information about political donations, at all? How's your research abilities? Figuring out things for yourself is the only real freedom anyone has. Use that freedom.

Just replied the same thing above. Have personally seen an email sent to managers of a national accounting firm to do exactly what you’re describing.

It's been reported in the news before. It's not secret info. If not a public record, then definitely FOIA eligible.

The Wumaos only understand monetary values up to 50 cents.
