He is a nice guy
Corporations and businesses can’t vote, so they shouldn’t be able to donate or lobby. Let the employees, owners, and shareholders donate out of their own pockets instead.
Citizens United is the framework for some of the worst trends in US politics, but peoples main election concern is tHe eConOmY.
The fix to God King presidents is also the fix to Citizens United.
I imagine they either both get fixed due to the same action, or they both never get fixed.
I don’t think it’s a one or the other situation.
Wonder who that 4% went to
Here’s your answer
Omg
He’s the only black guy in the room lmao
I’m sad I didn’t notice. I guess I’m post-racial?? Right???
I know Costco is a big corp and I usually get close to a panic attack when I’m there, but I still like it. The great equalizer. I’ll hip check anyone - regardless of age or race - to get at a 1 cm x 1 cm piece of pizza. I rarely win the face off.
A truly American experience to be celebrated on the birthday of this land.

Idk who some of those people are but the one pointing to Costco isn’t the CEO of Costco…neither is the one pointing to Koch. Zoom in.
Koch is pointing to Mike Pence, the vice president. I would readily believe him being in Kochs pockets, but this pic is simply inaccurate at best.
This doesn’t irk me.
If you’re an industry leader, and the executive branch of the government extends invitation, you go.
Many of the folks in the photo have their own, unique sins. Presence on initiation in the Whitehouse is not a sin, on its own.
The guy in the picture is Ben Carson, not someone from Costco. I can’t tell if the caption is implying that Costco gave Ben Carson money or if they’re just using him as a stand in for giving Trump money.
To the man himself, wild
Good Unite Us says those numbers are based on donations of the organization or senior employees. I don’t know what they consider senior employees, but OpenSecrets has a full breakdown of what individuals affiliated with Costco donated and to whom. Democrats get way higher average contributions, so I’m assuming a lot of that is coming from people higher on the org chart who can afford to donate that much to a campaign. A lot of people donated smaller amounts to Trump, though.
Yeah we buy politicians but they’re the blue ones so it’s all good
good or bad, this is the system we live in. you can choose to vote with your wallet knowing that your dollars are less likely to be put towards policies you disagree with.
Anything to keep money out red hands like the supreme court
Ah, yes, good corruption.
label it however you want, doesn’t change the fact that we have to live with it.
You need Costco to live?
hardy fuckin har
