I originally posted the following in another community in response who believes that American Democracy merely exists on paper. I really like what came out of me in this post, and I have decided to post it here

Not my fault if you misread what I wrote about the rich and power. In all systems the people with power use it and attract wealth, it's human nature. In our system we just make it easier for anyone to be able to attract that power and wealth, instead of locking them into classes.
Politifact is not a reliable or valid source (they make stuff up and lie a lot). he wasn't a great man, he was a very crass and self serving politician. Much of our current woes can be traced directly back to him with his 'great society' and 'war on poverty', all of which were socialism.
And you're wrong on what is not free speech. I can say all the treasonous things I want in private as well as in public. As for corporations being people, if you don't like that, then go change the law, but law must be consistent, if corporations are people, then citizens united is just logical. I'm sorry that those of you on the left don't like it, but I see 401c's like moveon.org and all of the Soros foundations engaged in far worse abuses, but I don't see you saying anything about that, and that is already against the law. Just the IRS doesn't bother to enforce that one (cause they're too busy going after the enemies of the democrats)
As for your last point, why aren't you complaining about our votes being secret as well then? It's the exact same thing, and we've already seen how the left will illegally release information about people's donations and then get them fired from their jobs. I guess you just want more of that.
