prohibits the government from restricting political independent expenditures by
corporations, associations, or labor unions.
McCutcheon versus Federal Election Commission, April 3, 2014
The Supreme Court struck down limits in federal law on the overall campaign contributions the biggest
individual donors may make to candidates, political parties and political action committees.
The United States transition from democracy to plutocracy is nearly complete. Rich people and corporations can spend as much money as they want to purchase the government that they want.
The only thing left is to find a way to quietly stop all the "little people" from voting. Currently too much money is spent getting them to vote against their own interests. This is inefficient, and since they can't afford to get their ideas heard in today's expensive media market anyway, it is silly to allow them to vote.
