Some corrections and links for you to read to avoid misconceptions on the latest BAD Supreme Court decision..Dems and Repubs are almost equal in campaign money in many areas...what isn't talked about is the prejudice of the media to cover real progressives like myself who try to challenge corporate Democratic incumbents..that way you never even make it to the primary because the party doesn't support you and the media doesn't cover you. Check out these links as I post: http://www.thebestgovernmentmoneycanbuy.com/...
Additionally, there is an entity called 'Victory Funds' that BOTH parties engage in..it's really for the super rich to yield their power and influence in nice chunks. Here's a typical actual scenario: Big party at a major hotel..lobbyists mixed with celebrities and you can't really tell who is who regarding the former...Maury Povitch and his wife Connie Chung attend this; it's for the Presidential race for Barack Obama's Victory Fund event. They both write checks for $20,000 each. The actual typical single check max amount is $38,500; a years salary for someone thrown away into a political race. Eric Cantor has his own Victory Fund. There's an LGBT one too out there. The money goes in part to the primary, the general election and for issue ads for candidates not directly to them.
Here's a link to the most respected Lobby money watcher out there and info on what I wrote above: Obama Victory Fund
If it was up to me, I would fight to really Occupy Congress with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren political clones...then we would start to see real progress, less bought and paid for policy. If the general public and viewers here would realize that folks like myself are trying to do that, and would support us, we could get Wall Street more out of our lives and Main street more in the economic focus. Promising $10.10 an hour in a couple/three years is a slap in the face to men and women who need that now and MORE. It's just pandering for votes. The decisions the Supreme Court have made DO make things worse; but if people would just consider throwing less barbs at real progressives like myself instead, we could get the hard work done to level the playing field for the lower and middle class. In my case, if I was in Senator Schumer's seat instead of him, you would be getting a Bernie Sanders-like office holder and not a fake Democrat, bought and paid for by Wall Street and rich cronies he has as donors.
