An important decision is about to be made by the Supreme Court that will involve the overturn of two previous decisions that kept corporations from directly funding political campaigns. This one will change politics as we know it, and it won't be for the good of the people. The court basically will be treating corporations just like you and me. I'm not sure my donations to a political party can match that of multinational corporations. Conservative Justices Roberts, and Alito will be the kingpins in this decision. This major decision is under the radar for a lot of people, but I think that politics as we know it is about to change. Right now, we (the people) are fighting the good war against corporate lobby money to politicians for support of laws in favor of their "bottom line". This overturn of two long-standing laws preventing direct contributions by corporations will turn this county into a Plutocracy, not a Democracy. We were already on the way to "rule by the rich and wealthy", and now we are getting closer to that fateful day. If you think for a bit as to the make-up of multinational corporations, then just think about having China involved in our domestic politics. We are already fighting the money and lobbying efforts of "Big-Pharma" in the current attempt to change our pathetic health-care system. Just where does all this end! We've already seen what Wall-Street looks like without regulation. We've already "been-had" by the money changers in our financial life (check out your 401K). Sure is gonna be interesting when "no-holds-barred" becomes the law of the land for multi-national corporations in our political life.
