The Center for Responsive Politics is a good website for following the
money trail in U.S. politics. If you go into the breakdown of Finance,
Insurance, Real Estate(FIRE)--the sub-category of Securities
Investment--I added up the contributions from HEDGE FUNDS and PRIVATE
EQUITY(excluding Venture Capital). These two are arguably the apex of
hyper-capitalism.
Giuliani, Romney, Clinton, Obama far outpace anyone else in receipts...
