Is this a great country, or what? The Supreme Court has ruled foolishly, as time will prove, that the concept of free speech is the basis for allowing money of corporations and wealthy individuals to corrupt elections. This should be a no-brainer. Corporations by definition are not individuals, the Supreme Court's decision notwithstanding. That law of the land allows management to speak for all of its employees in making political decisions by supporting candidates it chooses to support. Now the McCutcheon case allows deep-pocket individuals the right to influence elections that are not in the their jurisdiction. In other words a Georgia resident can influence elections in Iowa which he or she has no business doing in a true democracy. Strive!
