This was only a matter of time since Corporations bought enough Politicians to give themselves 'Corporate Personhood' under the law; making money speech.

So that now every poor human sob in the country competes with multi-billion dollar corporations for fairness, justice, and equality under the Law.

And they lose every time.

Blowing out Democracy, like snot into a rag.
