The article linked below led to the post but it only addresses one form of free speech and it's death on college and university campi plurarl of campus? (It's a joke)

The day free speech died when it was sold to some very very rich collectives called corporations and the seller in chief turned out to be a so called conservative heavy Supreme Court. The day it died in the early 2000's was the day money was declared free speech and any Inc. or LLC was given free access to any candidate or sitting public official under their official disguise as a person. or having person hood. Supposed to work two ways but did people get corporation hood? Are you in your job treated as a business in the business of sellng some commodity called a skill. Not hardly. Nor did you and your fellow workers from CEO to Janitor gain the billions it takes to truly enjoy free speech today.

That's when free speech had a stake driven through it's heart and the second death blow was Obama suspending the Bill of Rights last Dec 31st. Students are a nuisance but no where near as deadly as the day or days speech really died.

USA RIP it's history

    A business has the right as every single person should to donate to whatever causes they believe in. The problem is not the donations nor the size of the donations but that government is involved in so much of everything that one needs to beg or buy government favor in multiple areas even if one is not a crook.

    The problem is the out of control expansion of government power and government involvement in so much it has no business having any involvement in. The problem is NOT who or what kind of entity can contribute how much money.

    And the gateway to person hood for corporations was allowing stock holders to have a say in the operations of the corporation; (the democratizing of corporate America) - and - the taxation of that entity, in spite of the fact that everyone that makes up (works in) that entity are already paying taxes. This gateway also eliminated culpability of those that own/run the Corporation...owner/CEO, board of directors or majority stock holders. This also lead to outside control/takeover of the corporation thereby making the corporations success (profits) accountable to a minority and not the consumer.

    In short...a consequence of "demonacracy" directed by progressive tactics.

        Another thought whoever set this up did Hillary a favor. Her 'family fund' can legally go straight to both candidates and those holding office and any Inc. or LLC and what a bag mans dream! The next step is direct access without going through those intermediaries. What we need is a soft money tax. How come they are getting off scot free in such as lucrative wind fall business?
