A Shameful Chamber

Sept 12th, 2010


From the New York Times:


The article is about a complaint that has been brought against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with the I.R.S. The quote that jumped out was this one:


"Now the chamber’s political arm is turning to the November elections, and it expects to spend $50 million or more to push pro-business candidates, usually Republicans. As part of a wave of new commercials broadcast this week, the chamber’s California affiliate attacked Senator Barbara Boxer — a Democrat running for re-election against Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard — and accused Ms. Boxer of “destroying jobs” by voting against business."
