Cargill is the largest private Company in the US. Most give to the GOP.

I don't know if they give a ton to keep the business in the family sense the 1850's.

I wonder how many lobbyist in DC they have.......Seems like easy picking for a DOJ monopoly suit since they give to the GOP

Mircosoft Bill Gates learned a good lesson about having lobbyist to CYA in DC after the clintions went after him

Well, the LefTards already HATE ADM witha passion, though they contribute to NPR, et al on a regular basis. Extortion dollars, of course! Cargill is just next in the barrel because they’re not coughin’ up enough dough! SO absolutely predictable.

However, I take great solace in the fact that every, and I mean EVERY, Liberal that I know in The Real World is going to either be killed by roving hordes or starve to death before I will in the coming Apocalypse. *SMIRK*
