The Citizens United case gives corporations a license to hijack democracy. This Supreme Court decision will allow them to spend an unlimited amount of money campaigning for candidates who will fight for their interests. How can our interests - the interests of the American people - compete?

If you're wondering what a democracy of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations would look like, just think back to the fall of 2008.

Bush and Co. checked out, and corporate overlords were left in charge, bringing our economy to the brink of destruction. Consequential decisions were made based on greed, not the greater good. The house of cards built during years of neglect came tumbling down in a spectacular crash.

Now those same special interests that drove us into the ditch will drive our national debate. Oil and gas firms, big banks, health insurance companies - all have been given rights previously afforded only to citizens.

The vote was 5-4 remember their names Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and Kennedy! All appointed by Reagan and Bush 1 &2. I will Never vote for a republican because of this!

"Property monopolized or in possession of a few is a curse to mankind." --- John Adams, 1765

"No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood; the rest, by right, belonged to the state." --Benjamin Franklin

"I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate (the) grave evils(of capitalism), namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society. "
-Albert Einstein "Why Socialism" 1949
