“Corporations are people and money is speech!”
Yet they are allowed to buy and eat other “people”
They’re just voting with their dollars, it’s real democracy!
It’s freedom.
I recall someone once saying they found a comparison between bribery and lobbying and the explanation for why lobbying wasn’t bribery was cause it’s legal, lol
that’s cause it’s literally what it is, legalized bribery
I know, right? The Supreme Court was feeling left out, so they legalized
briberygratuities for judges.lobbying wasn’t enough they had to normalize insider trading . politician becoming corporation executives as well , truly the most corrupt government in history
Doesn’t this apply to all “democratic” countries?
Not all of them have a formalized lobbying mechanism. It still happens, but at least there’s a chance of a corruption sentence if it’s scandalous. In the US they are called “super donations” and bragged about
it sure does, the US is just the most blatant about it
