I am primarily worried about the citizens United Decision and the billion dollars the 26 billionaires are going to spend buying the congress people, running negative ads and intimidating campaigns against anyone who would stands against them. Left, right or center. These billionairs are using primarilly the Republican party to beat us up (over 90% of the money is going there), but also anyone else they can buy. Ask yourself, who are they giving the hundreds of money of dollars to? What do they want? Mccain's campaign was only about 350 million. These guys are going to spend a billion and expect to get back many billions for their investment. This is an investment to them. The more power they can get the more they can get their way and run this entire country to their satisfaction. Unions and the average Joe cannot stand up to the billionaires. Even foreign countries can contribute! Like China and no one will ever know. super Pacs only need to report who they gave the money to, not who gave it to them. That they are trying to buy the congress is clear as a bell and that they want to have their way over ours (tyhe majority) is just common sense. And they intend to rule us dude, using anyone they can buy. Billionaires are used to rulling thousands of people. We are just devolving back to the feudal days of lords and peasants That is cystal clear.
