Lowercase D, but also, I'm sorry to break it to you, but where you work has an impact on the world whether or not you see union dues on your paycheck, and if you have the luxury to decide between jobs, you should decide based in part on that. The whole idea of employment (as opposed to being a founder) is that you take a job that is lower risk and lower reward. Instead of taking home every penny (minus taxes) that your software sells for, you take home some fixed number in your employment agreement, and management (or shareholders) take the rest. If it doesn't sell, management's still on the hook for paying you until they lay you off, but if you work hard and do a fantastic job and write the world's most intuitive and reliable and high-fidelity software for camera boxes on power poles and you make them tens of thousands of dollars a year in sales, they keep the profits. Maybe they'll give you a small bonus. Now, what do they do with the profits that you made them? Several things, but donating to politicians is probably one of them. Go look up your own CEO's donations and tell me if you mind.
