Americans are smart about spending money. They know what they want to invest in and, more importantly, what they don’t want to invest in. They generally don’t want to invest in politics.

Only about 30 million Americans made a political donation between 2006 and 2020, according to The Economist: that’s less than 10 percent of our population. Americans are happy to vote, and more than half of us do, but we don’t see the value of spending our hard-earned cash on politicos. Especially this April, as we close in on tax time, Americans feel that enough of their money goes to the government as it is.

However, many Americans—even those who make the least in salary—are being forced to contribute to political candidates. Often, candidates whom they oppose and even voted against. That’s because labor unions invest heavily in political campaigns, and almost always for Democrat candidates. And that isn’t fair, because it doesn’t reflect the views of the workers in those unions.

The Commonwealth Foundation reported that, of political spending by unions, “95.8% of donations for state-level candidates went toward Democrats. On the federal level, 98.8% of union donations went to Democrats.”
