Therefore it is misappropriation of corporate funds for the CEO to be able to give corporate money to any political entity without also giving an equal amount on behalf of the rank and file of the company to the party of their choice.

The fact that the supreme court has voted to allow this tells me that they are as bought as the congress.

Get money out of poitics!

Why lobyists weren't seen as providing bribes
in trade for votes is mind-boggling.

This should have been addressed a long time ago.
