  6. 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!

  22. 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 🔥
