It overturned parts of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 and the 2002 Supreme Court ruling in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, which had banned corporations and unions from using their own money for independent political expenditures.
This decision allows corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts on political ads and other communications.
Which allowed the Elite to fund media ads for politicians who would then write laws that benefit the Elite. I would spell this out for you in Braille if I thought it would help.

George Will? That is a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time.
Good to see he's still opining on politics.

... so attention ought to be paid to his latest column ... ...
For what may be a couple of reasons.
1) Mr Bezos allowed this OpEd column to appear, even though he was reported to have deflected overt criticism of the Trump admin from the WaPo OpEd pages?
Jeff Bezos' revamp of 'Washington Post' opinions leads editor to quit (February 2025) www.npr.org ...The Washington Post's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, announced a sweeping new libertarian vision for the paper's opinion sections on Wednesday, just four months after his decision to kill a presidential endorsement of Kamala Harris triggered hundreds of thousands of subscribers to cancel. Post Opinions Editor David Shipley, whom Bezos recruited from Bloomberg Opinions in 2022, chose to resign rather than stay to oversee the paper's revamped sections. "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets," Bezos wrote in a memo to staffers announcing the changes. "We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others." ...

Capitalism and democracy are not partners, they are opponents, and sooner or later great wealth accumulates into fewer and fewer greedy palms, and one person, one vote democracy is replaced with one dollar, one vote capitalistic pretend democracy. Musk bought the WH for Trump, pure and simple.

But what I'm seeing isn't based on a vote they cast...but rather a compilation of dozens and dozens of very bad life decisions.
And there you have it.
Republicans don't believe systems could have anything to do with poverty. Even as medical bills remain the leading cause if bankruptcy.
That's not a system. That "a compilation of dozens and dozens of very bad life decisions."
Government has no responsibility to those it governs, is the message.
You're On Your Own, Americans! --Republicans

More from that article ...
... A former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) official appointed as deputy chief of the Office of Financial Operations during the Obama administration - and who still holds a security clearance -- was indicted on Friday on charges of agreeing to launder $12 million for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) -- which was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization in February of this year. ...
Why hasn't Pres Trump had the security clearance revoked? Or does he plan to pardon him, as he did with fmr Pres of Honduras Hernandez who, btw, was convicted of trafficking over 400 tons of cocaine into the US.
