"Stephen colbert's lawyer helps him find a solution for $800,000 in leftover super pac money."
If this doesn't convince us that Citizens United is the worst Supreme Court decision of the modern era, then I suspect that nothing ever will. Some serious overhaul of the tax code is absolutely required but should have nothing to do with mortgage interest deductions and other codes which benefit middle class and poor citizens. Those are not tax expenditures that ought to even be part of the discussion about "tax loop holes." The only loop holes that need closing are the loopholes that benefit rich corporations and individuals earning $250,000.00 or more in taxable income.
Big money has completely corrupted our electoral process, our elected officials, and even appointed officials like Supreme Court Justices who were once thought to be above such influences. Unless and until big money is taken out of politics, those of us outside the 1% will continue to be just chattel. - Greg Russak
