| Welcome to the Gilded Age, folks |

The recent SC decision regarding campaign finance is just another step in the transferal of power from the people to the corporate raiders.
Welcome back to the Gilded Age. There's a Congress and a Presidency that have been bought and sold. I hear they are to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
R. I. P., American democracy.

We're right back where we were after decades under the last crop of robber barons.
Only another FDR, willing to speak directly to the people against corporate interests, and overtly lead the masses against corporate interest, can save democracy.
Anybody seen someone like that?
