A bitterly divided Supreme Court vastly increased the power of big business and unions to influence government decisions Thursday by freeing them to spend their millions directly to sway elections for president and Congress.
In my perfect world, only registered voters would be able to make contribution to elections, and every one of those registered voters would have an equal voice of $10, something everyone could afford if they so chose. At least all this makes is easier to track the corruption and buying of politicians and democracy. The power should be in the vote, not in the dollar.
