35. Actually no Politifact is further supporting my point.
1 million from GS employees is a micro-fraction of the total contributions received. And that still doesn't change the fact that the association BEGINS and ENDS with the fact that these people were employed by a company that employs tens of thousands of people. Some are trying to make it out like Goldman the company somehow financed the Obama campaign and thats what I'm arguing against because thats ludicrous as was proved.

Aside from that, you are just wrangling on about what constitutes a small contribution. I don't see why contributions between 200-1000 dollars are suddenly LARGE contributions. If I made 80-100,000 a year (which is still middle class whether you like it or not), I would have given that much. I'm an independent contractors working in IT for a company that manages radio station accounting.

My point stands and polifact doesn't contradict it at all.
