"By contrast, working for Microsoft, Abramoff was one of nearly 200 lobbyists registered for the company in 2002 alone. " lets speculate and theorize : 200 lobbyists at a cool 13.3 mill a piece for the year 2002: "The largest, by far, was Microsoft, which employed the firm of Preston, Gates & Ellis as a lobbyist—a law firm where Microsoft chairman Bill Gates’ father is a principal. During the time that Abramoff worked for Preston, Gates as a Microsoft lobbyist, political contributions associated with the software giant totaled more than $13.3 million, accounting for 60% of contributions from all of Abramoff’s clients." shows you the kind of money microsoft is throwing to the government. such innovation!! that can buy a lot chairs too. |
