Five years after Citizens United ruling, big money reigns - LA Times |
Mellin...Citizens United was rulead as it was for ONE reason.
Presidential election now cost over a $ billion to run. You DON'T get that kind of money through $10 donations from the public. They NEED BIG MONEY donations and that's the way they get it.
They RIG the system for themselves,,,and then LIE to us about WHY.
Even welfare benefits them more than the poor. Sure...the poor eat...but Kraft and Tyson end up with the money as the poor spend it right away...using a JP Morgan EBT card. So, JP Morgan, Kraft and Tyson lobby for more welfare benefits.
That's how it works...government comes up with a "problem" and contracts out to "fix" it. The corporations CREATE the problem and then using the government get paid to fix the "problem" they created.
