Crow Sister, Big Corporations have gone farther than you can imagine.

They even passed legislation for themselves that made it perfectly legal for CEO's to publicly and privately misrepresent the profits, solvency and debt of their corporation. In other words they may lie, mislead, cheat and extort money under flase pretenses.

They can fund "grass roots" political action commitees that claim to be green solar energy advocates and take donations from people...when in fact they are a big oil corporation taking money that would have gone to their opposition.

Big corporations are now bringing a suit before the SUpreme Court to make it legal to privatize national elections , throw out 100 years of election laws and allow big corporations to fund without limit the candidate of their choice. If democrats had 1 billion to spend on a presidential campaign, corporations want the right to spend $50 billion or more.

As long as corporations control the legislature and actually write the laws for Legislators, anything incredible thing they want - they get.

We will see what the Robert's Court decides.
