(16,993 posts)Then we need to change every member of Congress who isn't speaking up about this and attempting to do something about it. The playing field is NOT level in America. The top income brackets get all the breaks, and the middle and bottom rungs carry all the burden.
This. Must. Stop.
No matter how much we may like someone in Congress otherwise, if they're remaining silent on this abuse, they need to go.
We've got to get the secret money out of campaigns, we need publicly financed campaigns so the best people can run and be competitive. Term limits to reduce corruption and conflicts of interest. No more crazy people in Congress passing bills that the rest of us must live by. Transparency in government.
Government is supposed to represent the PEOPLE, and we have documents that state that very clearly. Corporations are NOT people, contrary to what some crazy Supreme Court Judges may think. Women do not give birth to corporations, they are not conceived by a man's sperm and a woman's egg, they do not breathe, think, eat, have a beating heart. They are NOT people.
Anyone paying attention should be angry.
