From Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States (1877-1881):

“In church it occurred to me that it is time for the public to hear that the giant evil and danger in this country, the danger which transcends all others, is the vast wealth owned or controlled by a few persons. Money is power. In Congress, in state legislatures, in city councils, in the courts, in the political conventions, in the press, in the pulpit, in the circles of the educated and the talented, its influence is growing greater and greater. Excessive wealth in the hands of the few means extreme poverty, ignorance, vice, and wretchedness as the lot of the many.”

Here we have the rationale for overturning the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision “Citizens United,” which grants corporations the right to spend as much money as they wish to control the outcome of our elections and insure total control over our lawmaking processes.

Will such a measure be sufficient to right the ship? Of course not, but it’s a great first step, to be taken along with restoring the taxation of the rich and corporations that we had before the “trickle-down economics” hoax of the Reagan era.

How often does this happen? How about never?

Trump loves to say that little boys go to school and come back home little girls.

He’s the most powerful person in the world for exactly one reason: We’re a nation of morons.

Two comments:

That the United States has homeless veterans is a national (and international) disgrace.

By definition, no one has the legal right to enter the U.S. illegally, but according to our constitution, everyone in America is entitled to due process.

This will result in lung disease, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and higher electricity prices.

It will also further alienate the rest of the world from our country, as every other nation on the planet is making gains in the direction of decarbonization, and no other nation suffers from this level of corruption with the fossil fuel industry.

If that pleases you, you’re a warped human being.
