13. Knowing affiliations is valuable -- when
the numbers are significant. With the limit being $2000 per head, the self-interest of folks with big money to give is often revealed by industry and employer info, since non-random bigbucks givers at the executuve level incomes overwhelm the "noise" of the semi-random patterns of giving among the wage-worker population. PAC and soft-money donations usually reveal even more, but the tiny amounts given to LaRouche cited here are meaningless.

Spend some time browsing through opensecrets.org and you will soon see how enlightening this data can be. It is one of the most important sites on the net for those who want to understand how things work in politics, and one of the most important cites for those who want to document loyalties.
