A pretty good, yet simple article, that gets people to think about the influence Corporate America has over the government via powerful lobbying throwing amounts of money that the average citizen cannot.
Personally, I could not agree more. Corporations pulling for their own personal gain via campaign contributions to elected officials is wrong. Their powers of persuasion far outweigh the average voter and, pretty much, everyone else but the 1%. Does the voice and best interest of the people get through; or do the donations down out that voice? There is an article I will post on here about Rick Perry that shows how rampant the crony capitalism is in his camp. The thing is, I don't think he's all that different from any other elected official. This is the problem.
What do you think? Should corporations have this much influence? Is the Citizens United ruling unconstitutional? Do you believe corporations play the game relatively fairly?
