Citizen's United (Koch brothers) court case= corporate personhood has free speech
That kinda logic is straight from a private, unregulated cesspool (i.e the markets).
Lift up the sewer grates and whoop, there it is. All that fetid, subterranean logic.
Reminds me of that New York monster movie Ghostbusters with the bloated monsters,
those personifications of the Wall Street bankers,
those guards of the open gates of hell.
[A walking, stomping world-destroying market bubble]
Free speech for big corporations is righteous.
But, big corporations pay no tax.
No taxation without representation.
No representation without paying taxes.
Tea Party.
Koch Brothers/government/Koch Brothers
Full circle. Circle Jerk
Prime directive. Must kill self.
BOOM!

checkitout: from Inside Job documentary "lifting the grate"
from Ian fraser.org"Ferguson lifts the lid on the little-documented role of the economics profession in stoking up a global financial crisis.
He alleges that several supposedly “academic” economists — including Larry Summers, Martin Feldstein, John Campbell, Glenn Hubbard and Frederic Miskin — allowed themselves to become corrupted.
Some of these economists took huge fees (bribes?) for consultancy and non-executive direc-torships from financial firms, whilst posturing as disinterested arbiters of the economic scene — and some helped their paymasters by testifying to Congress in favour of financial deregu-lation.
It appears from the film that Summers, now director of the White House National Economic Council, was used by the financial industry to give legitimacy to what were, in reality, flawed and dangerously out-of-control practices.[mishkin was paid 124k to make Iceland legit]
Daemonsmovies.com on hubbard.columb prof/devil. “One of Inside Job‘s most compelling moments occurs when Ferguson interviews Glenn Hubbard, the current dean of the Columbia University Business School and a former chief economic adviser during the Bush administra-tion.On-screen the cornered Dean, who is strongly implicated in pushing the Bush-era poli-cies that caused the system to implode, and who is called out for collecting hefty checks for shilling corporation-friendly economic ideas, bares his teeth and reveals that beneath the fa-çade of the nerdy academic lies a vicious political animal, red in tooth and claw.”
