Easy solution to the Supreme Clown ruling HERE!

[republicansarewhores]

I think I may have a solution to this Supreme Clown ruling... we ALL apply to our states and incorporate our names and become corporations so we can ALL get the same tax breaks and benefits that corporations get so we too can pool our money to elect and defeat candidates with our own lobbying force... wonder how the government and lawmakers would deal with millions of Americans doing that (especially the tax break part)...

RAW

1. Better yet, incorporate in Nevada, where there is no minimum tax........

2. Call me slow, but did that ruling

permit corporations an open door and we, the citizen , we must be restrained? Are we not allowed to donate unlimited too now? WTF??????

4. No. the ruling gave corporations the ability to fund their own ads, a right individuals already had

Prior to the ruling:
1. Individual citizens could give up to $2400 to a political campaign
2. Corporations were not allowed to give to a political campaign
3. An individual could spend unlimited amounts of his/her own money in support of a political candidate, if those expenditures were independent from the campaign
4. Corporations could spend unlimited amounts is support of "issues" as long as they didn't specifically advocate voting for or against a particular candidate. Most corporations donated to issue oriented PACs with names like "Americans for America"

Now:
1. Still the same
2. Still the same. Corporations still cannot donate directly
3. Still the same
4. Corporations can now spend unlimited amounts to directly support or oppose a political candidate. If they don't want to pretend it is about an issue, they don't have to.

3. Yep.

Also, look into other forms of incorporation besides the for-profit version.
Private social clubs, non-profits, co-oops, even churches.
There's more than one way to bell this cat.
Of course, the best thing to do is to stop spending your money in ways where profit trickles to the top.
Starve the beast, while building an alternative.
Unfortunately, it WON'T be easy...
