Price Waterhouse political money — 2008 cycle

Reading the Price Waterhouse × 2008 cell

Lead with the number: $499,368. Then name both keys: PRICE WATERHOUSE and 2008. Then name the source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. 596 contributions and 243 donors are the volume fields that accompany the dollars. None of those fields names a recipient committee on this page. The join is itemized individual Schedule A activity only.

PRICE WATERHOUSE is the stored 2008-era string. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS is a different grouping on this site. The overlay path Price Waterhouse 2008 is where rows can be inspected. The industry page Price Waterhouse drops the year. The cycle page 2008 election cycle drops the employer string. All FEC ties indexes other joins.

Independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and unitemized gifts are outside $499,368. Mixing those tables with this cell would invent a total the packet does not publish.

Price Waterhouse on the employer/occupation axis

Price Waterhouse is employer string as stored. Filers typed PRICE WATERHOUSE (or a string that grouped to it). PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, PWC, PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP, and PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS remain other keys. Exact-match grouping is why a short label can look smaller than a reader’s mental sector. $499,368 counts only this key inside 2008. Named people are not invented here; the packet’s identity field is 243 donors.

The all-cycle figure $6,975,521 uses the same string with the year filter off. $6,476,153 sits in other cycles (92.8%). That remainder is not missing money; it is money tagged to other even-year windows on the Price Waterhouse hub.

243 identities inside a presidential window

2008 is a presidential federal cycle: a two-year FEC tag, not election night. 243 donor identities and 596 lines produced $499,368. About $838 per receipt and about $2,055 per donor are quotients. About 2.5 lines per donor is the same arithmetic. None of those means is a median.

Identities are not a census. People can appear under this string while retired, while consulting, or while listing a household workplace. This page does not invent donor names. The packet’s donor count is 243.

The 2008 hub is not this cell

Every employer string in 2008 lives on the cycle hub. Price Waterhouse is one of those strings. Without a cycle-wide denominator in the packet, no national percentage is stated. Citing $499,368 as “Price Waterhouse’s share of 2008” would require a number this file does not have. Open 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter; keep $499,368 only when both keys remain.

Keep the join language. $499,368 is Price Waterhouse inside 2008, already contained in $6,975,521. Adding the cell to the lifetime total double-counts. Adding it to a USAspending figure mixes statutes. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe for this page.

What the dollars are not

$499,368 is not a PwC PAC, a partnership census, or an accounting NAICS total. It is not proof that Price Waterhouse caused a 2008 outcome. Correlation between a stored label and a cycle year is a join, not a motive. FEC.gov does not verify that every filer who typed PRICE WATERHOUSE worked in a single firm or trade. 596 lines and 243 identities describe volume in the extract only.

Federal awards, state campaign-finance reports, and independent expenditures sit in other systems. If the live overlay disagrees with $499,368, 596 contributions, or 243 donors, the overlay and FEC.gov control. This snapshot is not a third ledger. All FEC ties lists sibling two-dimension pages that are not components of this cell.

How to cite Price Waterhouse with 2008

Citation template: employer string PRICE WATERHOUSE, election cycle 2008, $499,368 on 596 itemized individual contributions from 243 donors, 7.2% of the all-cycle $6,975,521. Source: FEC.gov. Then point to Price Waterhouse 2008, Price Waterhouse, 2008 election cycle, and All FEC ties.

Do not add $499,368 to $6,975,521; the cycle cell is already inside the lifetime bucket. Do not fold PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, PWC, PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP, and PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS into either figure. Means of about $838 per receipt and $2,055 per donor stay with this intersection. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.
