    You'd be right. I don't support super PACs, nor do I think money is "free speech," but rather, a bribe. I'm not talking about politics at all. Personally, I would like to see mankind evolve to a point in which we don't need/use government at all. We agree on corporations, but a corporation is not very powerful without government. The Banks commit "legal" theft everyday by devaluing our money, and many of them should be tried for Grand Larceny. But who put them in power, and allowed private banks to benefit from printing the publics money? This was Government.

    Corporations wouldn't have power without government, therefore they also deserve alot of blame. I don't think state governments are any less prone to corruption, but unfortunately, many people still think we need this monsterous system.

    No, it was directed toward political campaign financing. You give money to buy votes or enough lottery tickets to secure your chances of winning the draw on election night and access to privilege. We are worth more or rather we are a privileged people just sitting in our homes. And then there is the fact that almost to a person we have had our person of choice not be what we had wagered for.
