We can speculate if the court decides to DEREGULATE elections, that we will see an electoral version of what Wall St. did with our markets.
We will see a California version of what Enron did with the deregulation of energy prices.

However we could trust corporations to not abuse their enormous wealth and fix elections from now on. Just because you are suspicious of corporations does not guarantee that they will act in their best interests and against the United States.

Corporations owe nothing in the way of patriotism or practice of religion or raising a child. Their only purpose and motivation is for establishing "economic rents" commonly known as profits. Perhaps we can trust a multinationalcorporation like FOX to do the right thing.


To me a corporation is like a shark.
They are like a shark doing what it is perfectly designed to do, eat and make a profit of energy to go and eat even more.

They are not evil for simply being sharks. Should we hold a shark up to standards of morality? Of course not.


Simply put, a shark is not a person But why on earth should we grant super personhood to a shark?!

Because the shark wants to eat every god damn thing it can.


What of Multinational Corporations? Currently it is illegal to have a foreign government or individual finance our political campaigns. Most of our corporations list their head office off shore for special tax reasons anyway.



Of course we will need some new songs to bless America Inc. like...


God bless our share holders
no matter who they may be
From Pakistan or
from Bangor
its the cash that they stash and adore.
