SCOTUS: Who will own Tom Barret?

If spending money equals Free Speech, and Corporations which on average have more money than a person and while that Corporation which is treated with nearly the same rights as a living breathing American; Does this not mean the quantity of free speech you have now can be equated with the amount of money you have?

Corporation = American Citizen

Money = Speech

Corporations > Free Speech

American Citizen < Free Speech

 Why are corporations and special interests groups, who are not living people, nor actual citizens, have nearly the same free speech rights as I have as a living breathing individual American? Why does Exxon or the AFL-CIO given the same rights that I have other than voting?

 Of course with the Corporate Friendly Supreme Court, I’m sure voting rights for corporations are just around the corner ( you laugh now!).

   Could this have been the reason WHY corporations and special interests were regulated in the first place, because they do not share the thing the 350 million + American’s share in common: That we are living sentient beings who not only aspire to live a comfortable life and make money like corporations, but that we love, eat, and Die..., we are creatures of biology and our environment and not a construct of a man-made economic system that does not require Oxygen to survive.

Can some one tell me when Exxon had to go bankrupt to treat the lung cancer it got? Or when Exxon willing paid the Families in Alaska for the environmental damage for the incompetence of their oil from the Exxon Valdez, rather than going to court to get it fixed in their Favor?

How about when McDonalds Corp had to spend its weekly income on food to feed its 2.3 Children?

Or when DuPont through incompetence, willing and remorsefully, paid millions to the family of the dead in Bapol India?

How about the remorse and sorrow Halliburton felt after its faulty and incompetent wiring of US military bases in Iraq killed US service people?

Or when Blackwater willing gave the victims families millions to make up for their loved ones that were unjustly murdered by its employee’s?

Corporations and Special Interest Groups are “non-living” and are not barred by the frailties of “being alive” that make us human beings, not imbued or burdened with a brain, heart, or conscious, or a finite life set by biology or ended prematurely because of disease or violence. The vast majority of corporations only strive to perpetuate themselves or for there goals by any means necessary in our “so called capitalist free market”!

 We barely have power over Corporations and Special interest groups due to un-fettered lobbying as it was before this decision. You will find out this election and campaign season you will now have even less power over your elected officials, and your personal contributions will be dwarfed by the heavy power players, because as we have seen that in order to play the game of politics and advertise with ALL forms of media you need millions to win a seat.

 Question: Ask yourself this, which players have the most money (a non-living object that represents value by-the-way), and if money equals “Free Speech” who will be able to buy the most influence via media and the politician (they know who gives them their monetary support), and spend millions on attack ads without any repercussions?

 It is not you
