Elizabeth Warren - Big Money Influence Destroying American Democracy

[gyroscope]

Jan 21, 2016

In a Senate floor speech on the sixth anniversary of Citizens United, Senator Elizabeth Warren laid out steps that Congress and the Administration can take to root out the influence of money in politics.

1. We have different rules in Oz,

but the problem, in the end, is the same - the big corporations rule.

Rupert Murdoch gave us Tony Abbott as Prime Minister, and he's an American citizen who doesn't even pay tax here.

And Malcolm Turnbull refuses to chase up the global corporations, like Google, Newscorp, and Apple, who don't pay tax, but wants to slug the poorest with an increased GST, and cuts to welfare.

It's a sick, sick world.

3. I want to see how many HRC supporters K&R this thread....

That act will speak volumes.

Meanwhile, EW sends a not-so-cryptic message to all of us what kind of corrupt campaign finance is in place on this anniversary of shooting democracy in the back.

I send a hearty K&R!

5. Just ONE bit of advice

Under NO circumstances should you opt to hold your breath while you wait for the HRC crowd to K&R this clip.

7. OOOohhhhh...

I'm glad I could exhale now!

especially after reading that Washington Post editorial hit job on Bernie

6. K&R: Good one that reflects the reality of corporate America!
