Edited to add, "This is a guy who does not want to raise the minimum wage. In fact, he has said that he thinks wages in America are too high.

"Today, the Supreme Court, of Chief Justice John Roberts, in a decision that might actually have more dire implications than "Dred Scott v Sandford," declared that because of the alchemy of its 19th Century predecessors in deciding that corporations had all the rights of people, any restrictions on how these corporate-beings spend their money on political advertising, are unconstitutional.

In short, the first amendment — free speech for persons — which went into affect in 1791, applies to corporations, which were not recognized as the equivalents of persons until 1886. In short, there are now no checks on the ability of corporations or unions or other giant aggregations of power to decide our elections.

With the DNC Chair Admitting System Rigged Against Bernie



Debbie Wasserman Schultz admitted in a CNN interview that the system of Super Delegates is purposely designed to protect establishment candidates and stop grassroots candidates, and is rigged for that very purpose. No gray area, she is quite clear. DWS needs to not only resign her position at the DNC but should seriously consider resigning her DEMOCRATIC membership as she is participating in a system that is inherently rigged and UN-Democratic. She admits she knows it, and continues to play it that way.

"Un-pledged (Super) Delegates exist, really, to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists."
