Are yours and mine the only hearts that are beating fast right now? I don't understand the logic behind this ruling! How is it that BIG BUSINESS is going to be able to hand pick our country's leaders? You and I both know that the average joe DOESN'T do due dilligence and if they vote, votes for the candidate they have "seen" or "heard" the most about! This is ludicrous and incredulous!!!
Well—-maybe it time to TAX the ever loving hell out of corporations! Let's bring 'em down to size so they don't have so much money to spend on campaigns. Or let 'em donate away; but, tax their donations to campaigns.
