"We the people and corporations...": Why The Koch Brothers Are Dangerous For America



While Harry Reid is a liberal (so this will naturally have a left-wing bias), the issue he is discussing is something that is an American issue. We NEED to get the corporate money out of our government and overturn the 2010 ruling which classified corporations as people. Corporations are not people because their only interests are their bottom line and pleasing their stockholders. The amount of money one has should not determine the amount of influence one has on the democratic process of our government. Whether you are a conservative or liberal, the amount of influence corporations have on our government should concern you as it is one of the largest contributors to the inequality in the United States. Our constitution begins with the words "We the people" and not "We the people and corporations" for a reason.
