I've yet to hear anyone support this horrific decision allowing corporate political supporters to grease the sphincters of their political peg boys with as much KY as they want.
And if that's not bad enough, some lobbyists and other sleazes are showing corporations how they can make huge campaign contributions but without letting the information get out to the public. This way the public doesn't know that Company X donated ten million dollars to defeat a certain candidate.
When the Mafia does this, they call it money laundering.
And if that's not bad enough, some lobbyists and other sleazes are showing unions how they can make huge campaign contributions but without letting the information get out to the public. This way the public doesn't know that union X donated ten million dollars to defeat a certain candidate.
When the Mafia does this, they call it money laundering.
I like to think our country is run more by corporate interests and the almighty dollar than it is by unions. The unions do have some power, agreed. But do they really have as much power as the heads and boards of most of the largest corporations in the country?
I would agree with anyone who believes the power and influence of lobbyists should be marginalized, whoever or whatever the lobbyists are lobbying for.
