US politicians; On Sale! Buy Now!

So I thought Citizens United wasn't supposed to open the flood gates of corporate money? Wasn't that the line from the conservati­ve majority of the USSC that ruled on it as well as every other conservati­ve in the country spouting out their ass about it?

The point here, or rather what should be the point but obviously isn't, is that businesses do business as a "person" for business purposes only. Rather than listing every corporate officer by name on every transactio­n they do, they do it as a business instead. But being a "person" doesn't mean you're a citizen, or that you have the same rights as a citizen. Just ask the sorry bastards down in Gitmo.

And that's the kicker for corporatio­ns. Just because they're "people" doesn't mean they're citizens. Can they vote? I would think the primary basis of claiming citizen rights would be to be able to vote. They can not. They are not citizens, and they have NO inherent right to free speech what so ever. The people that work there can do whatever they want, the business can not. Or, again, rather, should not. But here we are, flood gates open, up to our necks in corporate influence on our national policies.

People have long claimed that US politician­s were for sale, now we know they are. All they need now is a price tag around their necks.
