Why Donors Donate

Why do donors donate? In the case of unions and corporations the gifts have strings attached. Neither of these are altrusitic entities seeking the greater good. If you believe they are, I have a bridge I want to sell you! Unions and corporations donate so they can get something from the candidate if elected. If you don't believe me, look at how many donors give funds to both candidates. That's known as "covering you bets" where I come from. Someone might say that all they want is the candidate's ear. Well, I can guarantee you they don't want his ear so they can tell him how much they love him!
