Corporate Personhood: How Big Business, Money & Politics is Hijacking the Constitution (Extended Edition)
Discussion on how big money in politics is eroding the US democracy - and how corporate lobbying and the Congressional revolving door to lobbying is setting the stage to erode democracy faster, and more completely than before.
Hear the facts that lead to today. Understand what needs to be done to save democracy, by learning what the founders envisioned - a government by and for the "people" - real people - not corporations masquerading as people.
With the US Supreme Court 2010 ruling in Citizens United - equating money as speech - corporations are now on par if not surpassing the rights of individual citizens. With more money, power and status than any one individual, corporations have become powerful lobbyists for their own rights and benefits - not that of the people. Discussed are the questions on everyone's mind: "How can corporations be considered people?" "Do corporations care about the same things as real people?" "Are corporations using their new-found 'rights' for the good of the 'people' or just themselves?"
If you or anyone you know has ever asked these questions, don't miss: Corporate Personhood: How Big Business, Big Money & Politics is Hijacking the Constitution.
