Not only union dues but our tax dollars. For more than fourty years our money has been doled out to every king of “social justice” group out there. There must be hundreds if not thousands. The tax payers pay for the grants that these commie groups receive and then they in turn send some of our tax money back to the democrats in the form of political contributions. This is what they have done with Planned Parenthood for many years. The dems give money to the Planned Parenthood and then they give some of it back in donations to the democrat party. I realized that this must be what they do with all of the leftist groups. They are funneling our money back into the dems pockets. Don’t forget that politicians get to keep any unused campaign funds when they retire, so we are funding their retirement pensions.

GOOD POST.
THAT should be the focus! Make it illegal for a politician to use campaign funds for personal use, and much of the corruption will go away. The corrupt ones will leave to go steal money somewhere else. There won’t be a built-in reason to take bribes for cash if they CAN’T KEEP IT.
