Microsoft's Political Lobbying Record

pierreduFwench writes "With the U.S. national elections just around the corner, you may find this interesting: Opensecrets.org, a website focusing on 'Responsive Politics' recently published lobbying and donations info for the 2002 elections (to date). You can see the breakdown of Microsoft's individual dossier here. Also, looking at the 'Top Donations by Industry', you may notice that Microsoft is, conspicuously, the only entry under 'Computers/Internet.'" Very interesting graphs.

That right wing style capatalism doesn't work. Look at a country such as Sweden or Canada and compare it to the United States. Sure the US has more money but it's in the pockets of only a few people, while most of the population are just scraping by. The United States is more akin to a 'kingdom' such as the ones europe had 300 years ago. It's unfortunate that while Europe is progressing the United States is actualy reverting to the primitive style of government most people gave up centuries ago.

Microsoft 'controlling' the government is just more proof of how terrible the US has become.
