The end of representative government in America

According to The Huffington Post , "A Texas company recently took out a political ad in several local newspapers, making it one of the first corporations to do so in the wake of a landmark Supreme Court ruling that lifted restrictions on corporate political spending."

"The Texas Tribune reports that the company, KDR Development, paid for an ad against state Rep. Chuck Hopson, formerly a Democratic member of the state legislature who switched parties and ran in the Republican primary for re-election."



This, ladies and gentlemen, is what the end of "representtaive government" looks like.

The money floodgates for elections and attack ads are open.

It was nice while it lasted.
