It’s very likely you could produce a similar graphic showing how much money organized crime gets from neighborhood businesses, proving, I suppose, that the various mafias are actually friends of business.
The mafia would either be extorting the money from the local businesses, making the business owners victims of extortion, protection schemes or loan sharking, or possibly the local businesses would be fronts for the mafia, making them part of criminal organizations, e.g., part of a money laundering operation.
I’m not trying to misrepresent data to make an untrue point, there’s just no way around “follow the money”.
If I ran for Congress, you can bet your bottom dollar that those who financed my campaign will be the folks I’m most apt to help out in any way that I can. If 19 businesses are my top contributors and 1 union is and it’s way down on the list, my election was financed for the most part by business, not union. I would then try to help all of them, including the union, since a lot of their support is simply in their votes - despite the fact that I’m actually also working legislatively on behalf of business management. Obamacare is a classic case: the bill was written by myriad lobbyists, most of which were employed by the healthcare or insurance industries, with the original goal of having government force used to increase the sales of their industries. The Dem Congressional leadership was simply given the task of passing the bill, not writing it. Unions - along with everyone else - were lied to as necessary to get them to support the bill.
It’s quite amazing, because most reasonably intelligent union members and Democrats realize that big money is backing their so-called “populist” party, that it’s all a sham, that it’s actually enriching the financial oligarchy and holding down the poor from having a decent life, since living the life touted by liberal agendas points one in the direction of ignorance, serfdom and misery. At this point most Democrats continue to vote Democrat because of tradition, corruption and the tradition of corruption.
Us poor conservatives who’ve held to the idea that somehow the financial oligarchy is somehow “on our side” are also blissfully ignorant of the fact that we’re also one of its targets.
The financial oligarchy sits atop the wealth pyramid and their perspective, wrong as it is, is to retain their relative wealth position. Thus they desire a flat pyramid, with a very few super wealthy and powerful folks managing a world of serfs. On the other hand, small business and people of some modest means, analogous to the bourgeoisie of historical France, live with the worldview that a far greater percentage of the population being members of the bourgeoisie and a continued effort to eliminate serfdom would be a much better economic situation. This worldview poses much too serious a threat to the comfortable monopolies of the financial oligarchy, so they use legislation and regulation to corral small business into either submitting to or joining their monopolies.
