Progressives need to capitalize on the outrage that this decision has sparked (0.00 / 0)

I have had 2 conversations in just one evening at an event that was all about celebrating the founding settlers of Hingham.

Those people initiated the topic, the previous evening I was speaking to a Republican  who grabbed at the 'free speech' argument and I replied that corporations already have political action committees previous to this and did he really think that corporations had lacked the ability to 'speech'.

This just gives corporations louder speech than anyone else.

I also asked the man if he felt  that a corporation was  a 'person' just like him. Was it fair?

All he could talk about was 'labor unions.'

I answered again, that labor unions have politcal action committees just as corporations did .....then I asked, 'are you so unsure of your argument that you need to throw the full weight of a corporation's vast wealth behind persuading people?'

No answer

I am too informed to be a Republican
