Corporations & unions are not people, they should not be contributing to campaigns for politicians that are supposed to be representing THE PEOPLE. This is why the 1% controls Washington.

Yes, thank you for stating this. The money from both Big Labor and Big Business must be excised from the political process.

Agreed Unions are dangerous bed fellows for this movement. It's really turning off a lot of people.

Yes, you rightfully point out that this is a huge part of the problem.
