It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you're on. You know this is true.

I'm not sure I believe that though..

Or that it is beneficial.

FUCK BERNIE IN THE ASS.

You think that corporations are people?
The only way we can gain sensible control of our country is to ensure that our politicians are not bullied or bought off.
This is not an anti-capitalism amendment. It doesn't limit the amount of money corporations can make, it limits the influence of a few.

What we need is huge campaign finance reform, not rhetoric.

I'm curious though, what issues do you have with it?
We can pick it apart; would be an interesting thing to do.

[Gogogo]

Kleinbok, I wish there were vowels in that.
Skag, what does it say?

Holiness?

[Gudronich]

Corporate "Personhood" acts to limit liability, permitting businesses to do things that no ordinary person would ever risk.. There are beneficial aspects to this.

Further, I don't know that states have a right to meddle in Federal Elections..

Further still, what about curtailing union money?

Think corporations are the only ones giving cash, and if they were prohibited from doing so that it would all be small donations from individuals?



And it won't help.. As there's infinite ways to compensate a crony.. You don't have to write them a check and call it a campaign donation.

What really needs to happen is to suck the power out of DC and send it back to the states where it belongs.. Then nobody will send them a dime.

[AttableBewNaw]

Corporations are not people yet have more power than people. That is why our forefathers were against them.

[maniaringsq]

All PACS and lobbies should be removed from our politicians as well.

[FBtquXT8]

It's all bribery money.. It's sent to DC because DC has the power to pick winners and losers.

It's the natural consequence of a government that is too big, and does too much.

Want CFR? Stick a pin in DC's extra-Constitutional regulatory authority... That'll do it!

[ditpiler]

THE FEDGOV IS A CREATURE OF THE STATES.


ROTTEN POLITCIANS WHORE OUT TO ANY INTEREST

THAT SERVES THEIR INTEREST.


GET THE TURDBAGS OUT OF THE CONGRESS.

DON'T MUZZLE EVERYONE ELSE.... GO AFTER THE ROT IN THE CONGRESS.

FUCK THAT GOD-DAMNED BERNIE SANDERS IN THE BUTT.


HE'LL SILENCE EVERY VOICE OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT IF HE CAN.

[boxcigsnick]

PUT THE COUNTRY IN LOCKDOWN SO THE CONGRESS

CAN OPERATE UNOPPOSED? FUCK THAT!

[Trissinas]

DISCLOSURE IS GOOD.

RESTRICTION IS NOT.

[Abarricoss]

IT WOULD BE NIVC TO HAVE A NEWS MEDIA COMMUNITY


THAT WOULD REPORT ON LEGISLATION, POLITICS,

POLITICIANS, AND ELECTIONS ...WITHOUT TRYING


TO MANAGE THEM.

GOVERNMENT CAN'T PROVIDE THAT.

ONLY POPULAR DEMAND WILL PROVIDE IT.

[Enjoymmsq]

Limiting campaign donations completely would be more effective than this approach..

But it still won't work.

Not as long as Congress and the executive have the power to run naked through the economy with their regulatory pen in hand.

Look at what Obama has done to the energy sector.. Single handed. Without even so much as a vote in Congress?

Look at Bush before him? His meddling gave Obama the extra-constitutional power he is exploiting now.

That's the problem.. You don't bribe people who can't help you. There's no point.

[rockboyzaza]

IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A LAWFUL CONGRESS AND COURT SYSTEM.


GOVERNMENT, ACTING UNILATERALLY, CANNOT PROVIDE THEM.


ONLY POPULAR DEMAND... AND ACTION, AND DILIGENCE... CAN PROVIDE

AND MAINTAIN THEM.

[jokiruss]

The Federal Government should really have very few powers.. Be responsible for very little.

The fact that they have a thumb in every pie, and they can make or break you.. That's why people send them mountains of cash.

They want to be declared winners, to have access to the fed money room, and have their competitors laid low.

[maonnjtip]

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO EXPECT OUR

GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE ITSELF TO OUR

ADVANTAGE.


THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. IT CANNOT HAPPEN.


FURTHERMORE, NO GOLDEN BOY IS GOING TO ASCEND

TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DO IT FOR US.

[gactanync]

THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT AND PUBLIC APATHY

HAVE VERY NEARLY DESTROYED OUR REPUBLIC.

[Usogwdkb]

WE HAVE A CONGRESS OF POTENTATES WHO LOOT

THE NATION .... THEN DISPENSE FAVORS AND DISPENSATIONS

TO THOSE WHO MAKE THEMSELVES USEFUL TO THE RULING CLIQUE.


THE PEOPLE TOLERATE IT.... AND SO IT FLOURISHES AND

EXPANDS.. LIKE ANY PARASITIC COMMUNITY.

[DoctorWeryDolt]

A CORPORATION IS A USEFUL BUSINESS TOOL.

IT CAN BE MIS-USED... LIKE ANY OTHER TOOL.



WE CAN HARDLY REFORM HUMAN NATURE.....

BUT CAN DAMNED SURE REFORM OUR CONGRESS... AND

WE HAD BETER DO IT.
