    " Ever since the passage of anti-trust legislation, in 1890, businessmen were in the government's potentially total power ; as a group, they offered no resistance ; instead of fighting, they paid protection money to the politicians of both parties at election time, assuming the permanent role of stealthy favor-seekers.

    @@rajashashankgutta4334 The people who own and work for a corporation would have free speech rights but they wouldn't be able to say things as the company unrestricted (ie press releases about the coca cola corporation not supporting a unionization bill) or use the money of the corporation to donate to PACs and political campaigns. They could says things personally and donate to political campaigns on their own but I also said to reverse citizens united which would put caps on PAC donations. Before citizens united for over a century there were caps on political campaign donations (max $2900) and donations to groups that worked to promote certain candidates(max $5000). Citizens united allowed groups to get unlimited donations as long as they didn't coordinate with a campaign. So for example a "family values governors in Nevada PAC" could make ads promoting a republican governor candidate and make adds attacking his opponent as long as they didn't plan with the official campaign for him. They could collect unlimited funds even though they are basically just a second campaign for the candidate. It takes power out of the hands of the people and gives it to the very rich. It is completely against America's values of equality and democracy.

    Mista and Misz, You’re right, I am ancient, old as dirt (actually 62 years old) and retiring in a couple months. Given I live in Canada with universal health care and a pension that will keep me warm and cozy for the next 50 years I am in a good place. Had both hips replaced at the same time given my perhaps too active life style in my youth and middle age; oh the double hip surgery done at the same time did not cost me a dime given our health care. I am perhaps in the top 2% but given the benefits of our tax system, I am not myopic enough to care as it is in the best interest of the Canadian people rit large, unlike the destruction being rained down on the average American, thanks to the money in politics to keep the middle and lower income earners in desperate constant stress through a barrage of propaganda that Pravda would admire.
