" I guess you ought to read it. The Court said that a corporation can run an ad, but they still can not give money to politicians. The unions can still give money to pols and still run ads. Considering that corporations are adverse to pissing off a large segment of their customers, how many ads do you think they will run. Or taken the other way, if you are a corporation looking for a government contract, what do you think the politicians will lean on you for?
I think either can say any damn thing they want, but neither should be allowed to give money (by definition, other people's money) to politicians.
All the money Unions or Corporations would spend is in the end some other person's money. Ergo, money should only be allowed from individual citizens, not corporations, unions, organizations or any other incorporated group.
thanks, I understand your position better, but I still don’t see how we get there as a matter of policy .... the latest SCOTUS decision would have to be overturned AND there would have to be a new law banning all political contributions not directly from individuals.
OR, there would have to be a constitutional amendment.....
