WE THE CORPORATIONS
To be accurate, it looks like we need to change the first three words of the constitution preamble from "We the people..." to "We the corporations..."

Let's call a spade a spade here. We have no voice anymore.

Corporations are the new people.

The new people who cheat, steal, deceive, corrupt, outsource, and sell us out to feed their greed. The new people who use us like a doormat.

How much is enough?

1. Wait until the Supreme Court figures out a way to let them vote
and I'm sure somewhere, someone is working on an arguement for that. Maybe they'll get one vote for every dollar they contribute to a candidate.

3. That happened decades ago. It's what's really behind a candidates "electability," or lack thereof

2. How much is enough?
To openly own and control every blade of grass, every ounce of water and every source of energy in the universe. Openly being the key word.
