Republicans Losing Their Grip on Business

[erpowers]

Things seem to be getting worse for the Republican Party. It was just reported a few days ago that young voters are trending toward the Democratic Party or independent status. According to Mother Jones Magazine the Republican Party is also losing it grip on the Busniess industry. Polls have shown that the number of people in the business industry who identify themselves as Republicans is dropping. In addition, in the last election people withing the hedge fund and private equity industry gave 77% of their contributions to the Democratic Party.

It seems that some would say this may not all be good for the Democratic Party. The question could be asked what will the Democrats have to give up, if anything, in order to keep the support of the business industry.

5. A lot of them don't like the Repubs, because the R's only help certain business

not all of them. Business as a whole has always suffered under the R's.
