Wealthiest corporations in *America*???
Heard on the media last night (01/25) that this ruling also applies to
FOREIGN corporations.
Has anyone else heard this or can it be verified?
Not sure if it would, but a lot of corporations are owned by
foreigners. If you think someone like Rupert Murdoch is an American
just because he became a naturalized citizen, well, think again. He
only did so because legally only US citizens are allowed to own
American TV stations.
-If- it is indeed true, people on these NGs that support the ruling
are either extremely naive -- or should be in jail (along with the
Supreme Court) for supporting such a treasonous idea.
Sorry, but I don't want some Saudi or Chinese company donating millions
to support a candidate of THEIR choice in an AMERICAN election.
Well, it's going to happen, thanks to the right-wing faction of the
Supreme Court. First, right-wingers practically sink the country
financially and now they're just giving it away to any unscrupulous
cabals out there for the taking of it.
