"If we are concerned about the future of our American democratic republic, the way to preserve it isn't to protect it from greedy Social Security recipients by pushing the retirement age back to 70. It's to get money out of government, thus neutering the political power of the Billionaire Class. And that means reversing two core doctrines that the US Supreme Court has created out of thin air (at the request of big business and billionaires): that corporations are people, and that money is speech."
--Thom Hartman and Sam Sacks, from their article:
We must work--fight, really--to end campaign contributions. We have to get the big, ugly, corrupting influence of money out of our election system and so, out of our government.
