- Corporations are afforded many of the same rights as people, which they shouldn’t.
- This allows ease of creation of “non-profits” to make (now unlimited) donations to the politicians of their choice.
- “We have something the founding fathers never intended, career politicians… They make decisions to save their job.” - David Walker on “The Daily Show”.
- Our “leaders” are no better than any joe off the street. Coupled with item #1, means that our current laws
Solutions: I am a “liberal” in the current political terms. However, what I propose should be fairly nonpartisan.
