Because Republicans tend to support the values that the corporations want supported, more than Democrats. Face it, are the oil companies against drilling for oil in the Alaskan Wilderness? NO, neither is the Republican Party, but the Democratic PArty is.

Corporations only support what is in their best interest, and that best interest is making money for their shareholders.

Because they can pay for it out of tax cuts, while the collected taxes get used to finance a war for oil, and the freedom to keep labour cheap even if it means getting permission to use illegal immigrants on government projects like the repair work in New Orleans.

Where did you get you "facts"?

If your assertion is true, it is because Republicans understand that capitalism, while flawed, is the best system going.
