Congress and Corporations

Congress has long been in bed with the corporations, as witnessed by the Supreme Court's decision that corporations are individuals and as such can contribute a near unlimited amount to a candidate. There is a video on this here which leads us to the question of whether corporations run the country or the people do. That story is here.

The next question is why are our elected representatives so wealthy? The rest of us are struggling along, many working paycheck to paycheck while our elected representatives are lining their pockets with campaign donations, freebies, discounts, and other perks.

Are "We the People" so gullible? Are we sheep to be led to the slaughter? Wake UP!!!! Kick the bums out and get corporations out of government. Make government Of The People, By The People, and FOR The People once again!
