This is the end of Jacksonian Democracy and a return to time when only freeholders votes mattered |
|
Essentially it was "one man one vote" now it is he who can buy the biggest megaphone wins.
RIP Democracy 1776-2010

3. To be fair, it's been that way for a very long time now... |

But this ruling just opens the flood gate and greases the rail, so to speak, toward a complete melding of corporate power to the state.
And that, in the long run, ain't good for anyone except the people at the top of the food chain.
Funny, the people this will help is the people the Tea Baggers seem to abhor and the people whose agenda will be most restricted is the individuals who think small government is the best.
Sadly, those with tea bags hanging from their floppy hats will never realize that they were chasing the wrong dog all along.
Dupes, rubes and carney victims.
