Corporate capture of the Federal gov't predates Citizens United. Halliburton's business dropped off years before that decision. Even if you bar corporate speech, those who profit from the corporations, individuals, will speak for them.
Cooperation's should have a voice because business is a big part of our economy. However, they should not have any right to contribute to campaigns directly as we are seeing today. The outcome of the vote should never come down to who out pays the politicians. That's the way it is today, and that's one of the reasons we are in this mess today.
It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. You guys gather up the support for the Constitutional amendment barring corporate campaign funding, and I'll support it. But the corporations will still have a voice. Goldman Sachs will still short our entire country when it profits them. McDonnell Douglas will still sell us more aircraft than we should ever need. GE will pay very little in taxes (except maybe to China), and the oil companies will get massive tax breaks.
We were all warned of this.
