Republicans win for golden rule
To the editor:
Voters are asking the question as to what the Republican wins in the election mean. Does it mean that the people want Republican control? Does it mean we should repeal health care reform or phase out Medicare and Social Security? When the Supreme Court deregulated corporate money, ruling that corporations were people, and allowed them to dump billions into the election, it proved that it worked. With enough corporate money you can buy an election.
We have free speech in America but free speech freedom to speak. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t cost money. The more money you have the louder your “free speech” is. So when corporations dump billions into the election their free speech becomes louder than the free speech of the people. All this election proved is that money talks. We are controlled by corporate America once again like we were under Bush. Now we have the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rule.
