When I first came to the United States I felt that the country was in decline, such as any other empire in history, and that my kids or grandchildren would be the ones witnessing the end of it, but as I was telling a conservative friend recently, we are living the end of the empire, pretty much in every aspect that we can think of, education, social, infrastructure. Today this supreme court, and it is no mistake that I have not written it in capital letters, the same that gave us president George W. Bush, arguably the worst president in the history of this country, legislated from the bench, and allowed, what I think may end up being, the last nail in the coffin, the icing on the cake, and that is to allow corporations and unions to donate unlimited political funds.
Where are the people that have always said “I do not want justices who will legislate from the bench”.
First let us analize this idea that corporations and unions are in the same plain field. That is like saying that parents and children are in a same plain field. Whoever thinks that is the case is lives in a different world.
Corporations can outfund unions many times.
Corporations through their chosen ones will have the opportunity to outlaw the first amendment, unions, and everything else that is in their way.
We have seen in just the healthcare process what corporations, before the decision of today, are able to do with unlimited funds to defeat a possible law that could mildly reduce their huge profits.
Some people out there would say that “this is democracy at its best”.
With corporations running the house there will be no democracy, it will the government of the people, for the corporations and by the corporations.
God help the United States and what the future may bring with this decision.
