It’s not posted online, but the following blurb from the latest print version of Bloomberg Businessweek offers a surprising fact about Ron Paul’s presidential bid:
It comes as no surprise that federal employees and those who work for the biggest government contractors are giving cash to Barack Obama in the Presidential race. But who would have guessed that among GOP hopefuls, Texas Representative Ron Paul — the libertarian who wants to dismantle five federal agencies — would top the field in donations from the very people he would purge from the payroll?
Amount Paul raised from employees of top 50 government contractors: $76,789; Romney, $65,800; Perry, $16,250
Amount Paul raised from federal employees: $95,085; Romney, $23,000; Perry, $19,366
