If It Please The Court. Oops! I Mean If It Please The Corporation.

'The unfortunate thing about our problems with election financing is that our Congress is unwilling to do anything that might restrict the huge amounts of money they can collect from corporations and very wealthy people. Either directly or through PACs set up for that purpose. And even if they do find some backbone, the Supreme Court is determined to cut such limitations out of any laws passed. Folks we are destined to have a country that is For The Corporations, By The Corporations And With
The Corporations' Consent. The only thing left is for Corporations to be able to vote and hold office. Once that happens, they won't need us at all. At least that seems to be the thinking. around Washington. Maybe a few of us for military purposes and waiters and waitresses. I suppose I could volunteer to be a greeter someplace. Whatta you gonna do? Well if Congress won't do anything, then maybe it's time to take things into our own hands and start a grass roots campaign to amend the constitution. State by state. If we did that, then neither Congress nor the Supreme's would be able to do anything to stop it. Ya know, when your government won't do it's job, the people need to step in, in a legal, non-violent way and get the job done. At that point it probably would make sense to eliminate political parties as well. Probably impeach the Suprermes and Congress too. I'm not suggesting anything radical mind you. Just a complete overhaul of government. Congress would have term limits placed on members. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by them, such as out debt ceiling, would be decided in favor of the poor and middle-class. If that can't be determined, just give me a call. They'll have my number on speed dial. Of if you prefer, you could apply for the job, but I warn you, this job could be hazardous to your mind.  I only volunteered because I don't have one. What other qualifications do you need to go to Washington?
