How do we know they are NOT doing a sneaky midnight deal?
Always watch the other hand with these people-this may be what they WANT you to see and make the noise about.

Giving a corporation the same constitutional rights as an individual (actually more rights) is a perversion of the constitution and was only done so the government could make corporations a taxable entity. Now that they are being taxed one can make a compelling legal argument that they should have the right to political free speech. This is basically what the USSC just decided on, and while I don't find fault with their judgment I disagree with the underlying premise. Corporate taxes should be abolished and with it the “right” of free speech for corporations.
Only registered voters that can actually vote for the candidate in question should be able to donate to that candidate and they should be able to donate as much as they like. Period. That is campaign finance that makes sense.
