Re: Supreme Court Strikes Down Key Section of McCain-Feingold
I think you lost sight of what you were even arguing. These are not things you have to tell me.
And there's a LOT more to this ruling than just limits on corporate spending, for which I indeed AM jumping for joy.
We don't live in a free market society, and with good reason. I suggest you think about that.
Nothing is black and white. Not all corporations do bad things; not all corporations do good things. As I said, the ruling was fair.
Whenever rulings or legislation is passed that favors the corporate upper crust, it has wide spread implications. It's a simple fact that corporations behave like individual persons with a huge amount of money and resources. They have sway over the democratic process, which is not always a bad thing, but regulations don't exist because of those who behave.
This particular ruling doesn't mean much in the grand scheme, other than giving the nod to lobbyists to keep doing what they're doing.
Money does buy politics and that is simply a modern reality, which is why I am not jumping for joy about this.
