The Republicans blocked a constitutional amendment that would have overturned Citizens United. This is a knock down to our constitutional rights. The one percent should not be able to run our country. This is from a piece of a conservative writer Walter Williams. Their site is down so I could not copy and paste or put up the whole article. This was in the 9/11/2014 New Castle News. Why do people cough up billions of dollars to line political coffers?? One might answer that these groups and individuals are simply extraordinarily civic-minded Americans who have a deep and abiding interest in encouraging elected officials to live up to their oath of office to uphold and defend the constitution. Another possible answer is that the people who spend these billions of dollars on politicians just love participating in the political process. If you believe either of these explanations for coughing up billions for politicians, youre probably a candidate for psychiatric attention. A better explanation lies in government power and control over business, property, employment and other areas of our lives. Having such power, Washington politicians are in the position to grant special privileges, extend favors, change laws and do other things that if done by a private person would land him in jail.
