The arrogance of these people (corporations are people, too) to buy the election is as unamerican as can be. Why aren't the shareholders complaining that this money is being taken out of their percentage of profit/dividends?

Now, can someone explain how Romney is low on funds? Didn't I see he needs $20M? I realize some of these funds can't be handed to him for campaign expenses, but honesty never stopped them before. I should think it would be embarrassing to him to have to admit that he was low on funds...what with being so wealthy and all.
