(10,489 posts)The U.S. Chamber of Commerce started seeding state and local elections and tort reform. They have taken away our right to a real trial by jury by instituting caps that help to keep exposure down, and Republican Courts of Appeals can catch anything that gets through. Does anyone think the McDonalds coffee lady got millions for nothing? Mickey D's superheated the coffee world wide to get twice the coffee from the same amount of beans and it stayed fresh longer. It almost killed her and she lost all of her outer female parts. Did corporate media give us the truth? No, it was woman spills hot coffee, sues Mc Donald's and gets millions. That case was used to start the tort reform movement. It weakened Plaintiff firms who used to support Democrats as much or more than unions. They have had this comprehensive plan in the works for 25 years at least. Democratic politicians cave, not b/c they are weak, but b/c the fix is in! Until enough people wake up, it will only get worse. History says this will not end well! Campaign finance reform is ALL WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT!!!
