You mean foreign corporations can...


One of the subtleties overlooked by conservatives in the Supreme Court decision on allowing corporations to buy their way with our government – foreign corporations can do it as well.  Just imagine Europe’s Air Bus buying support for selling their planes to the Pentagon at Boeing’s expense. Since governments control Air Bus this means foreign governments can buy our congress people.  How would you like Chinese Corporations buying influence in congress or running slick commercials telling us how to vote?  I don’t know about you but I see a problem.
