I’ve seen that Chris Dodd is sponsoring legislation to repeal the SCOTUS ruling....an Amendment I think....I’ve seen it on some libs facebook page.....they don’t think corporations (made up of people) should have the same rights as Unions....made up of people.....
Chris Dodd won’t last that long...I hope.
The dirty little secret that is rarely reported is that corporations give 49.4% of their political contributions to rats, the other 50.6 % goes to pubs, leaving a difference between the two parties of giant, whopping 1.2%. Conversely, unions give 92% to rats and 8% to pubs.
Corporations contribute half again as much as unions.
I’ll do the math for you. A union contributes $1. $.92 goes to rats; the remaining $.08 to pubs. A corporation contributes $1.50. $.74 goes to rats (49.4% x $1.50); the remaining $.76 goes to pubs. Total to rats is $.92 + $.74 = $1.66. Total to pubs is $.08 + $.76 = $.84. Rats will likely receive almost twice as much under the SCOTUS ruling if the proportionate trends continue. The rat fear probably arises from the fact that now that they’ve shown what they’re really about - shown their hand, so to speak - corporate contributions will likely sway away from rats. The tax cat is out out of the bag.
Constitutional amendments are tough to do. Dodd is just flapping his lips. Besides, his US Senate life will be ending soon.
