Citizens United vs FEC strikes down any limit on corporate spending in elections, on the theory that corporations are people too. So why not give them a vote, too? Anybody that can post the incorporation fee gets another vote. Sounds like the Republicans want a United States of Money, completely ignoring that money is a tool for people, not an end in itself.
