Because corporations are not citizens, they should be permitted no influence in government policy. By this logic then organizations such as the AOPA, AARP, NRA and PTA should have no influence? While those groups certainly are corporations, they do represent their members (hundreds of thousands of citizens) unlike Halliburton, Enron, Exxon, Accuweather, Carlyle Group, ..., that exert more legislative influence than the lawmakers' own constituents. Big business only represents greed, and their unethical (Abramoffesque) corruption of legislators must be stopped. So it's just companies that you don't agree with for one reason or another that shouldn't have influence? I'll make sure when the reform laws are passed we legislate that you get the final OK on who gets free speech. The problem isn't the companies doing the influencing and not really the politicians that allow themselves to be to be influenced. The problem is the voters that keep reelecting the politicians. Everybody thinks Congress as a whole sucks but love their own rep and/or senator. |
