If corporations can intentionally hoard a trillion dollars in an effort to not create jobs

which helps a desired political party and these same entities can spend unlimited sums on political advertisements against politicians who defy them and this results in them being successful, what is the point of actually having a political process or a democracy?

If one group has disproportionate power to influence our electoral process what is the point in going forward and pretending we are are a democracy or the will of the people always take precedent.

Isn't it really a facade?

2. This is the plan of the one world barons - multi-national groups.

Bilderberg and their Tri-Lateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations, World Bank, IMF - they are taking us down one full notch to second level which means some of us will be at the third level. It is devestating to learn this, but it is real. They no longer bother with us being able to buy - they have China, India, Nrazil, Russia - all planned for decades. Once you reflect back it will all come together. Order as in One World Order means ownership and control. It's all playing out.

3. That USSC decision gave corporations unfair the influence

They were already represented by the individual donations of anyone employed by the corporation, now they can still donate individually and use the corporate accounts on top of that.

Their voice now has far too much influence of the same number of average citizens.

The USSC should have limited corporate "personhood" spending to the limit every other individual could donate, $2,500(?) per candidate.

That's the system they created, and one we either have to continue to live with, or else we won't. What are YOU going to do about it?
