Financial Answers "IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE"

I’ve tried not to get too political with In Simple Language because I want to keep it as a financial and information learning tool.  However, what is taking place today in the United States is so important to every American’s survival that I have to voice my opinion and inform those of you who are not aware of what is taking place.

When 911 happened nine years ago, the U.S. Government came out with the Patriot Act which, in effect, took away many of the rights that Americans enjoyed for a long time.  Maybe this was justified because of this horrific act of war.  Americans will have to live with the results of the Patriot Act in the meantime.

This latest act by the United States Government, namely the Supreme Court of the United States, gives me more cause for fear than anything previously done by our government.  Some may argue but I feel the Supreme Court is nothing more than another branch of our bloated government.

So what am I talking about?  The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that unions and corporations-inanimate entities-can spend unlimited amounts of money on advertising in promoting for or against political candidates.  Now if you think about this, this is totally insane.  You and I have been watching as big corporations have been taking advantage of all of us over the years and it has been getting progressively worse rather than better.  Now these monster organizations will be able to control, even more than they already do, who is elected to what office. 

I think we can all agree that our political system is so broken that unless you have tens of millions of dollars to spend it is next to impossible to be elected to any political office of any consequence at the federal level.  This new Supreme Court ruling will now allow corporate America to “totally” have a say in who is going to hold what position in Washington, D.C… in effect controlling America.

Your fair and impartial representation in America has been eroded slowly but surely over the last couple of decades.  This ruling will break our backs and put us under the yoke of corporate America, not only with our financial lively hood (jobs and paychecks) as it now is, but will also now control “who” will represent us in all our matters.

The Supreme Court Says…

The Supreme Court has justified this ruling by saying it is a violation of the First Amendment free speech rights to not allow corporations the right to free speech.  Here is what the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceable to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances”.

Now it seems to me, although I am no constitutional attorney, the Supreme Court has read more into the constitution than they probably should have.  If I am not mistaken, where does it say freedom of speech is for non-living entities or non-humans or inanimate objects or corporations or anything other than” the people”?

Now in defense of the Supreme Court, this ruling was passed by a 5 to 4 vote so it seems that at least 4 of the justices have not lost their minds or don’t need their wallets lined with corporate money.

President Obama is upset and so are 24 states who are questioning the ruling because of its effect on their state laws. 

This is a serious problem to all of us if we allow corporate America to dictate to us through their “deep money pockets” who we should or shouldn’t vote for.
