@RexRed,
Quote:The koch brothers' bid to buy elections in America speaks to the obvious need for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and subsequent rulings.....
Bernie Sanders' article is spot on. Billionaires are politicised oligarchs and monopolists who obscure the facts for average Americans.
Big money buys power which in turn attracts the ambitious among us...some so power hungry they would throw their mother under the bus for a spot among the nation's elite. And, ah, the Koch brothers who're skilled manipulators, and with their many billions, America is indeed in a bad way.
...Sheldon Adelson, the owner of the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and the Sands Expo and Convention Center, contributed 100 million bucks to Mitt Romney so when he became president of the US he would show favoritism to Israel. Every day I'm immensely grateful Mitt Romney is not the President of the US...Jeepers, what a cold inhuman a.s.s.h.o.l.e!
But America is still in trouble....major corporations, Banks, Health Insurance do not want regulations...After obama, the future for America doesn't look too bright...."A country is judged by the way it treats its citizens."
