The government answers to corporations, interest groups backed by the 1%. That's who they make policy for.
Everything we've done so far to make the democratic process accessible over the course of our country's history has been undermined.
We can't address the wealth disparity with a government that facilitated it because 99% of Americans have no say in government policy.
Banking reform, tax reform, healthcare reform.. are UNATTAINABLE because every line of every bill passed has been AUCTIONED OFF!
Corporate person hood is the one and only obstacle to getting things done. Getting rid of it will be the window to changing America.
Why don't representatives vote for things a majority of the constituents want? Joke is on us because we're not the real constituents.
We (the people) alone should fund candidates so they answer to us!
OF the people. BY the people. FOR the people. Corporations are NOT people.
How can we make this happen?
Agreed. And the way to do this is by constitutional amendment, so let's get cracking!
This will require an Amendment to the Constitution:
An Amendment to the Constitution is required:
"A corporate entity, in and of itself, is not a person and, therefore, is not entitled to the rights and protections afforded to a person as set forth in the Constitution of the United States of America."
