Ok. And? You're the one running for POTUS. So how do you propose we deal with it?

Does allowing corporations to “vote” with year-round cash campaign contributions somehow violate the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection clause? Does the corporate cash-vote afford ‘extra’ voting rights to those Americans who own corporate shares??

Agreed. In raceforwhat.com I am suggesting the same changes. We need a new mind that is connected to the planet to realign our values. This current culture of capitalism and imperialism has proven disconnected. Steps 2 and 6 #humanity #endsytemicracism #raceforwhat
