Thank You For Your Contribution

There is no question the political process in this country has turned into a veritable sewer. What once separated this country from most of the rest of the world - one person one vote and the resulting implications thereof - i.e. the checks and balances of the executive, legislative and judicial branches, has become little more than a playground for organized corporate and government corruption.

Enter Judge James Cacheris of the U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia, who on Thursday struck down a law preventing corporations from contributing directly to candidates campaigns. In a 52 page decision, Cacheris ruled that if human beings can make contributions so can corporations. Why? According to Cacheris - human beings and corporations are entitled to equal political free speech rights. One must ask "How the hell is money changing hands a free speech issue in the first place?"

The ruling came about from a criminal case brought against William Danielczyk Jr. and Eugene Biagi who illegally reimbursed their employees to the tune of $186,000. Said money was contributed to Hillary Clinton, that perfect citizen, during her Senate campaign in 2006 and her presidential bid in 2008.

See how easy it is to circumvent a federal law banning corporate campaign contributions. You simply force your employees to contribute to the candidate, who will kick back big bucks once elected, and then reimburse them. You can usually have hand picked judges back you up.

We would all be better off if Las Vegas was still run by the mob.
