It's shit like this which is why you see me here every day talking about how corrupt Republicans are. They do this with solar, they did this with Obamacare trying to make it fail. They cheat our democratic process by taking away people's voice in the voting process..

You want to know why some guy goes to a baseball field looking to shoot Republicans? It's shit like this, that happens at state level & even federal level. They do this type of shit at all angles at state levels & at federal levels. They properly stack the deck in states they control to squash opposition to them and their corporate benefactors.

Why is it Republicans hate free market & the will of the people? Oh I know it's because their corporate doners don't like it, it's bad for their profits..



Something no Republican will ever say...

What happens when you allow corporations to run our government?

What you get is plunder. And I have to say this, the American people have to understand that there is a huge difference between free market capitalism, which is a good thing because it makes us more efficient, more prosperous, and more democratic, and the kind of corporate-crony capitalism which has been embraced by this (Bush) White House.

The reason they shouldn?t be running our government is because corporations don?t want the same thing for America as Americans want. Corporations do not want free markets and they do not want democracy. They want profits and the best way for them to get the profits too often is to use our campaign financing system which is just a system of legalized bribery, to get their hooks into a public official, they use that public official to dismantle the market place, to give them monopoly control, and then to privatize the commons, to turn over our Treasury, our air, our water, our public lands, our wildlife, our fishery, the shared resource of our society that give context to our community, that connects us to our past, that are the source of our values and our virtues and our character as a people, and we are turning that over, for profit, to these corporations.
