5. Will they also be able to take a "donation" out of your paycheck to support

6. Businesses do that now and have done it for years.A few years

importance of making certain their employers understand
which party best serves the business interests.

7. Essentially, yes, since they can buy airtime to do it.
They can tell everyone whom to vote for.
