To: <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> If indeed foreign companies will now influence U.S. elections I can only imagine that such a scenario will greatly please the likes of John Manning and those others who feel that the US had been a usurper and exploiter of other nations of the world through their imperialistic and capitalistic overreach throughout the last 50 years. Now America can have its comeuppance because foreign companies can now come into our backyard and start playing with the minds of Americans through unfettered advertising. Tit for tat. John and Bhairitu and Barry must be therefore be very pleased with the Supreme Court decision. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "do.rflex" <do.rf...@...> wrote: > > > Newsweek > <http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/thegaggle/archive/2010/01/22/should-fore\ > ign-corporations-spend-money-on-u-s-political-candidates.aspx> reports > that foreign businesses might be the real winners in yesterday's Supreme > Court decision > <http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/01/21/supreme_court_rolls_back_c\ > ampaign_spending_limits.html> on campaign finance that now "allows > corporations and unions to spend limitless amounts of money on > presidential and congressional political campaigns. > > "A majority of large businesses are now owned by foreign entities, and > this means international corporations could pour tons of money into the > United States political scene, potentially swaying the political > climate." > > Links here: http://snipurl.com/u61qc [politicalwire_com] >
