Papantonio: The Truth Behind the 'McCutcheon' Case

[GoLeft TV]

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments on a case that has been described as Citizens United on steroids. If the conservative court sides with big business in this case, it could open the flood gates to unlimited corporate campaign money. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio talks about this with Nation Magazine investigative journalist Lee Fang.

1. K&R!!! The answer to what is the ROOT CAUSE of most of our problems is

COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM (CCFR)!!! We need Publicly Funded Elections to help stop the rampant corruption of our political system! The Plutocracy has shaped our courts, media, tax code, and government to suit only their interests. The scum that supposedly represent us, the American people, want the right to suck up more money in exchange for their fealty to the Plutocrats! With few exceptions, our politicians are no longer Democrats or Republicans, they are actors (bad ones at that) that play their roles, which involve getting us to take sides so as to blame the other side, displacing our anger from where it should be directed.
I would like to see true Democrats in office, but most of what I see are lackeys. We should all be demanding CCFR, people (not politicians) who are Democrat or Republican, Tea Party, Green Party, Libertarians or whatever. If we do not act soon, America will continue its slide into obscurity and ruins, a failed experiment overthrown by the greedy, wealthy individuals and corporations.
Elections are about "Change." Our elections are rigged from the start. The change we need must come from "We, the People!"
