Fuck Citizens United.
Just gonna leave this here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_(organization)
The current president, David Bossie… served in executive positions for President Donald Trump’s and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection campaigns.
Thanks a lot John Roberts and Sam Alito for fucking up our politics. Citizens United may be the worst Supreme Court decision since the Civil War
Imagine this money put into public healthcare…
Every drop helps, but the US spends around $4.5 trillion annually on healthcare. If we changed to single-payer, cut out the middle-man multi-pipeline network of private insurers thereby also lowering administrative overhead that last I checked was around 30%… We would likely achieve what most other nations are achieving at half the per-capita cost we pay now.
Citizens United.
But just a few, incredibly rich ones. So it’s like the opposite of what the name seems to imply.
They always give these draconian laws positive sounding names. Also, all that disposable money could’ve be used for social programs through taxation
They appear to be mistaking the shorthand for the Supreme Court ruling to be the name of a law. In fairness, bills do often have overly patriotic names that hide their paradoxical purposes.
