Money, Not People, Deciding Elections

Well it's election time and a look across our nation shows that in each state we have Democrats, Republicans and in some states independents seeking to win the coveted seat they aspire to. Whoops, I forgot about that unnamed candidate and probably the most powerful one of all. Yes, it's the "Money Baby." That's what controls politics today. If you've got the big bucks, that's how you win. In today's world, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, corporations are people too. Maybe one day real people will be the deciding factor in elections. Clifford Silvers, Milford
