And that right there is a primary example of why it is so WRONG for corporations to be enabled to donate (buy) toward political candidate's campaigns without limitation. This nurtures legislation for hire and tips the balance in favor of the corporation! It is why corporations should NEVER be granted constitutional rights; and especially without having to operate within those same rights within their business operations and practices.

How many middle class income individuals do you think have enough money to donate millions toward candidates that will work for their beliefs? How many millions of them do you think will have to pool their resources in order to even come close to the dollars ONE corporation can dole out without batting an eye?

Are "they" really "keeping jobs in America" ? Really?! So in your mind it is the "mom and pop" jobs that have left this country like rats leaving a sinking ship? Really?  :rolleyes:

The republican party is nothing but a shill for the corporate "god". Without the mighty corporation funding it, it would die; and they all damned well know it, which is why they continue to cater to them.

It will be the death of this nation if left to run its intended and very apparent course.  :mad: :mad:

And the exact same thing can be said about unions. Especially public service unions. They donate millions of taxpayer money to further their own political agenda. So, should they be outlawed too?

There you go, putting words into my mouth. I never said anything about outlawing corporations; however, this same SCOTUS decision provides the same protections to unions as corporations. Thus, if said decision were to be reversed, the impact would include union political funding. . .

(NOTE: The above opinion is just that, an opinion; and one I have not put a lot of research into surrounding the legal status of large unions and whether they are legally classified as "corporations" or not. Anyone having credible evidence supporting a position opposite the above opinion is encouraged to provide same for our collective edification).

  What in hell do you mean that the public service unions, teachers, cops, firemen, street cleaners.  trash pick up workers and so on give tax payer money to to further their own well being.  Damn it dumbass,  they give a part of their incomes to try to keep a good standard of living.  Just like your suck ass corporations do.  You have to be one of the most greedy, selfish stupid scab that I have ever meet.  :azz:

  I get so sick of you scabby assholes.  It's none of business if people want to belong to a union and protect themselves from the asshole Predatory Capitalists trying to put all working people into slavery.  :trustme:

  Great song and demonstration of Walmart.  But has you have heard "ME" say, she has all of these friends who work for Walmart that they think like "ME", Hell these people don't need a union.  :yes: The Assholes.  :biggrin:

  But I know one thing for sure Palehorse, this song won't get much play at "ME's", Henery's or the Squawk's homes.  For you see they are TEABAGGER REPUBLICAN SCABS.   :yes: :wink: :smile:
