Mock Turtle Soup

So the United States Supreme Court has ruled that corporations and unions have the right to fund campaign ads for specific candidates. The Democrats, including our president, are flipping out about this and saying that now corporations will be able to buy elections. Now whether or not one believes that corporate entities are entitled to the same freedom of expression as individuals, the fact remains that the ability to pay for a campaign ad does not somehow translate into the ability to buy votes. Essentially the politicians who are saying this are saying that the American people are incapable of thinking for themselves, and while I’ll admit that I have very little evidence to the contrary I refuse to believe that to be the case. We did elect those who are now making the allegations which is an interesting loop if one thinks about it.
