  1. Not all American corporations support 🟠tRump, but do appease him by wanting lower Corp taxes.
    In our Capitalist econ, the Corps continue their GREEDY pursuit of net PROFITS, even when #WeThePeople starve.
    #CitizensUnited is doing all the "wet work"❗️
    "Tomorrow" they'll "shrug"❗️ 🤷🏼

    >> #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizensUnited that treats corporations as natural persons for contributing money, but not for voting.

    The #SupremeCourt carefully contrived this narrow scope to pull wool over our eyes so that #corporate money could flow in.

    Had they granted voting rights to corporations that they treated as natural persons, all companies incorporate in the #US would be able to vote, and thereby expose the sham nature of the ruling.

    >> #ElonMusk: “With #ArtificialIntelligence we are summoning the demon.” 😳 … Why are we giving these anti-human #oligarch #sociopaths control over our entire lives? … This should be a bipartisan issue.

    It IS a bipartisan issue, and that issue is #corporate money that flows to both parties, #Republican as well as #Democratic, thanks to #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizensUnited that treats corporations as natural persons for contributing money, but not for voting.

    Happy September and LABOR DAY! Remember, if you like having "weekends" and "days off", thank the Labor Movement. Also, remember to give what you can to your local, state and federal candidates as well as parties or special advocacy groups close to your heart. There's a lot more of us than the billionaires and corporations, but we do have to get around to kicking in a little to fund OUR people in opposition to THEIRS. Got $100 bucks to give? Use this silly little table below to allocate it!

  17. See how contrived the #SCOTUS justification for #CitizensUnited was in comparison to the #UK #SupremeCourt which rejected a #patent case because under UK patent law "an inventor must be a natural person."

    #US Supreme Court, on the other hand allowed corporations to pump money in politics because #corporations have a right to #freedomOfSpeech like a natural person.

    Why did they not allow corporations to #vote then? They didn't want poor people to incorporate and vote 🔥

    Dear Senator / Representative -

    I want an absolute end to PACs, super PACs, and untraceable money in politics.

    I recently read that the senate races in Texas are likely to involve more than $200 million in campaign contributions.

    The ability of rich people to donate unlimited and often untraceable funds is shattering our democracy, and for the sake of all of us, please do something serious about completely reforming how campaigns are financed.

    If you can't end these back-room, ultra-wealthy influence peddlers completely, I want you to support the two bills in Congress now that can help take the voluminous darkmoney out of politics and help make sure that our government is truly a representative democracy.

    They are H.R. 2352 and S.4602. Both would limit contributions to PACs to $5000.

    I want full transparency. I want every political donation to come with the name of the person who signed the check or made the bank transfer. I want all of it public.

    I want you to cosponsor and enact these bills and restore our democracy to the American people.

    Yup!

    #CitizensUnited and the #completeCapture of both political parties is why #EstablishmentDemocrats like #HakeemJeffries and #ChuckSchumer no longer represent us but only the #billionaires who fund them.

    Their #goodCopBadCop charade is transparent to all but the blindest cultists. Too bad we are stuck supporting them despite all this.
