### Here is some data on political support by various government and
federal employees:

-Of the top twenty political contributors between 1989 and 2012 twelve are
unions; they give less than 5% to Republicans; only six of those top twenty
are corporations who gave about 40% to democrats (Goldman Sachs gave 56% of
its cash to democrats).
-The NEA (“teachers” union) gave $43,613,263: 71% went to democrats, 5% to
Republicans.
-The AFT (“teachers” union) gave $34,698,466: 86% went to democrats, 0% to
Republicans.
-The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)
gave $61,610,080: 73% went to democrats, 0% to Republicans.

here is some information on the propaganda complex (aka education):

I also read about percentage of Democratic donors in Dept of Justice, and
some other federal agencies, hovering around 90% but I don't feel like
spending the time to find it the article again.
