This is no accident. It’s the GOP’s reward for consistent efforts to roll back most of the progress done since The New Deal era. Nancy MacLean’s book Democracy in Chains explains it splendidly.
110M to 50 firms over 5 years is about 440k/year/firm. That’s roughly 2, maybe 3 FTEs on average. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan and averages can hide a lot, but that’s not exactly swimming in foreign money either.
Per firm, sure, but there are 50 of them. they're probably paying quite well in cash, since they can't pay stock options, so that 440 probably covers 1 high level employee and a jr one.
"Tainting" assumes they were ever clean to begin with.
