Isn't this a one-vote-per-citizen country?

Investor owned profit-maximizing corporate agreements are not living, breathing people. In January 2010, our nation’s Conservative majority Supreme Court found voting rights for “corporate persons” in the Constitution where our nation’s founders did not put them!

They declared that “corporate persons” could vote by spending as much as they want attacking or promoting political candidates. That’s legalized bribery!

A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll revealed that 85% of Democrats, 81% of Independents and 76% of Republicans oppose that decision.

In this one-vote-per-citizen country, those corporation owners already have their vote (if they are citizens).

Corporate CEO’s get at least some of their wealth by creating poverty among producers through traditional discrimination akin to slavery called “supply and demand”. They short-circuit the whole economy by paying farmers and labor less than a human rights return for their production. That underpayment prevents farmers and labor that produce new wealth from “demanding” some family and business needs, so good jobs to “supply” those needs don’t materialize.

The Federal Reserve Board says that by 2007, the top 1% of Americans owned more of this country’s wealth than the bottom 90%.

Let’s take our country back so we can start working to end discrimination by putting every producer into the Private Enterprise system. Please sign Public Citizen’s petition at www.DontGetRolled.org, for a constitutional amendment to fight the corporate takeover of our democratic republic.
