Has the U.S. become an official corporately owned country?

Asked by Ron_C (14480points) January 23rd, 2010

This weeks big Supreme Court decision was that Corporations have the same rights as individuals and that limits on campaign finance by corporations is as illegal as restricting individual rights. This decision eliminates 60 years worth of laws designed to curb corporate influence on Congress and elections. It also opens up the money gate for any group that chooses to incorporate. For instance Al Qaeda could form a corporation and dump billions of dollars to get anti-christian candidates elected and it would be perfectly legal. Of course there is other corporate mischief that would expand on the already blatant control that they have over congress. Is democracy now completely dead in the U.S.?

We already thought that we had the best government that money could buy, now it is official.
