    What really??? We intentionally legislated the equivalent of Citizens United, one of the worst US Supreme Court decisions on political speech?

      Yup. Political parties felt hamstrung so enacted laws that got waaaayyyy too little attention at the time.

      It’s essentially open season for political donations from Big Business but you will NEVER hear a politician say that out loud.
