If you want to follow the money in politics a good place to look is a website called Open Secrets - Center for Responsive Politics.
Obama Received $20 Million from Healthcare Industry in 2008 Campaign - Almost three times the amount given to McCain by Brad Jacobson.
Insurance money to Congress - Top 20 recipients from 1989-2010 election cycle. Thanks to the Center for Responsive Politics. The numbers are based on contributions from PACs and individuals giving $200 or more.
I could spend a lot of time looking at these numbers. The numbers don't lie. Corporations have more of a voice in Congress, the Courts, and the Presidency than ordinary citizens.
If you don't believe me look at the top spenders from 1989-2009 - Lobbyists. Thanks again to Open Secrets.
