Our Oligarchic Form Of Society

The recent Supreme Court decisions in

McCutcheon and Citizens United

have been disastrous for our democracy.

They are allowing the billionaire class to spend unlimited amounts in elections, and to elect candidates who protect the interests of the 1% while opposing the needs of everyone else. here

Today’s conservative court, in 5-4 votes, embraces corruption. That has to stop or this country will rapidly evolve into an oligarchic form of society where virtually all power rests in a handful of wealthy hands.

Pam Bondi In Pay-To-Look-Away Scandal

The investigation found Bondi flitting around the globe — at posh resorts in Hawaii, California and all sorts of places other than the state she was elected to serve. Gift records examined by The Associated Press found that Bondi had taken more than $51,000 worth of free trips, meals and hotel stays — much of it thanks to corporations that funneled money through the Republican Attorneys General Association. here

The lobbyists got their way. One of the attorneys lobbying Bondi represented online travel companies that were trying to avoid paying certain taxes in Florida. Bondi's predecessor, Bill McCollum, had sued the companies, trying to get the money. But Bondi dropped the matter, saying it wasn't something her office needed to pursue.
