"The Voice that Goes to 11"

MSNBC picked up FT's story on UK Defense firms donating to the compaigns of U.S. lawmakers.

Anyone need a refresher on how U.S. policy is formulated?

The two committees dispersed a combined $439,499 to individual Republican candidates – compared to $232,500 to Democrats – outspending some of the largest US companies, including ExxonMobil, the oil giant, Microsoft, the software maker, and Citigroup, the banking group.

It is easy to get hopeless when you realize that most people are unable donate that kind of money to political action committees. However, a corporation though deemed a person, albeit one that is punished innocuously for breaking the law, cannot vote. They can give more money than you or me, but we can beat them at the ballot box every single time.

Hmm, that may not go for Diebold.
