It was sarcasm.
There are several on this board who, I'm sure you've noticed, are anti-corporation. In previous instances (I'm not going to search for them) I've been called a shill (and worse) for working for a corporation, making decent money, and being a neoliberal because "I've got mine" or some other such bullshit.
The campaign contribution piece is in reference to when I (as an individual citizen, who has no access to any politician at any level - nor have I ever received a 'favor') make a campaign contribution to a candidate or a party I have to select the 'industry' I work for. My individual citizen contributions are then bucketed under the "financial industry" and the various websites that show X dollars came from the "financial industry" instead of "left-leaning-citizen". Also, the fact that I can donate more than $25 (now, I'm a "big-dollar" donation too) and have at least once reached the limit for an candidate also makes me a centrist piece of **** only looking out for my industry, at least in the eyes of some.
Stumble It!
