[EL] Check out Super-PACs: Little From Corporations - Bloomberg

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

Well, to start with, in order for a c4 to maintain its tax exempt status,  
only 49% can be political intervention.  So if your goal is influencing an  
election, 51% is wasted if you give it to a c4.
 
By the way, I cannot get the actually study.  If someone can post it,  I 
would love to see it.  Jim Bopp

Why  would any corporation contribute directly to a publicly-disclosed 
SuperPAC  when they can instead engage in political activities via 501c4s and  
501c6s?

This is disappointing  but not unexpected, at least by me.  Only 7.6% of 
contributions to  Super PACs are from corporations and almost all of these are 
privately held  corps.  This means almost no participation by publicly held 
corps.   Another anti-CU fantasy dispelled, just like the "foreign money"  
fantasy.  Jim Bopp
