"The Supreme Court majority has acted recklessly to free up corporations to use their immense, aggregate corporate wealth to flood federal elections and buy government influence. The Fortune 100 companies alone had combined revenues of $13 trillion and profits of $605 billion during the last election cycle," Wertheimer wrote.
This sums up my initial feelings:
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) added to the pile during a press conference: "The bottom line is this: the Supreme Court has just predetermined the winners of next November's elections. It won't be Republicans. It won't be Democrats. It will be corporate America."
Corporatocracy will run America. When money equals speech, the poor become voiceless.
We need to change the way we view corporations, they are not the same as people. You can't draft a corporation in the army. If a company like Blackwater commits murderous crimes, the company and its shareholders do not go to jail.
How does a DVD release lead to changing the entire way campaigns are funded?
