its bad enough to live in a country where we elect politicians much the same way we elect a homecoming court (see the male centerfold, senator elect of massachusetts with the broadcast journalist spouse and american idol daughter as the most recent example).

but now the supreme court has given corporations unchecked power to buy political influence from these paper mâché politicians.

so in five to seven years when we have the next financial crisis, as jamie dimond, the ceo of jp morgan says is routine and not representative of corporate malfeasance, which politician he has paid to have elected do you think will be siding for the people and not in jp morgan’s interests.
