Its a Corporatocracy..

As Mr Carlin said..

"It’s a big club, and YOU aint in it."

[DackIsBack]

Fuck this shit...

Just Enforce The TILLMAN ACT!!! It was never repealed, It's been around since 1907 but it's not being enforced, the problem is the courts and judges not enforcing this law... Close The Fucking Loopholes, kick out the corrupt judges that don't do things by the book.

@samten10a TERRIFIC...IS 10 YEARS ENOUGH TIME?

[samten10a]

What I don’t want is congress bought and paid for by corporation; like bank of america, Wells Farg,o chase, GE, barmy and smith, time warner, kock bros, merle lynch, pb oil and exon oil. This amendment to the constitution is but a start.

[samten10a]

There should be either amendment or laws that stop congress person (pc) from working after serving in congress for any one that sell the government serves or products for ten years. Congress sold out the real people of united states america and allowed all fraud, theft and the recession to happen. All to make corporate master happy.

@babybluesnowden This is what ron paul wants free trade NO regulation so people have to fight the corporation on their own. The people would have to Raise millions of dollars to prove what was dumped was harmful and keep chemical company from dumping toxic waist into ground water. Under what ron paul want the company would not have to keep records of what was dumped or have to provide records to courts.

Yet this amendment allows Unions and Political Parties.

Sander's is a populous snake.

Fix the Fed? wtf??

[babybluesnowden]

For Christ sake, we dont want democracy, that is a majority rule, it will do nothing more than further divide the people, GOP/dem white/black rich/poor catholic/atheist anything to keep the people fighting and unattentive while they (corporate america) run off with everything. We want a constitutional republic, governed by the constitution, not people, not corporations, The constitution LIBERTY state sovereignty, read the declaration of independence Its all right there!!!

@Visfen You're right. Corporations can't vote. Only individuals can.

Individuals can pool money together to campaign. Imagine hundreds of thousands of poor, uneducated and BUSY people coordinating their efforts to raise money for a candidate, or to support a bill. Probably can't imagine that, because it doesn't happen.

An organization can reach out to these people. That's going to be a corporation, for financial liability reasons.

@justrock247 1886? 14th amendment? What the hell are you talking about you damn fool. Citizens United has nothing to do with Santa Clara, nor do you seem to understand what the Santa Clara ruling says.

Stop being a moron and listen to me, I am smarter than you, in order for poor people to be able to buy adds they have to incorporate. As far as rich people go, this law makes no difference to them.

Read the ruling would you?

@Visfen What happened "before" was simply abuse of the 14th amendment since the 1886 Santa Clara case. Citizens Unites simply made it tangibly legal, rather than the headnote placed on the minutes of the case in 1886, which was abused case after case after case. Now, were trying to make it tangibly ILLEGAL, by amending the constitution. Poor people buying adds is obsurd and makes no headway in bringing this issue out into the mainstream public.
