Lately, the Supreme Court has been criticized for ruling to allow Corporations to spend as much money as they choose on political advertisements. Well, I say "Good for them!" After all, with this decision the court has solved one of the most vexing problems of political life: Not enough money in politics. I am certain our elected officials agree with me.
What's one billion dollars to buy a Presidency and a Congress when two billion might be available? Why should Senator Charles Schumer in New York be restricted to receiving only two million dollars in contributions from the Wall Street lobby when four million dollars might be given to him for his votes? Why should Representative Eric Cantor from Virginia be made practically a pauper with only about $500,000 in Wall Street contributions when double that amount could be his for the asking?
Rather than criticizing the court we should be commending them. Now that they have solved the money problem for us we can go back to worrying about what really matters: Who will win this year's American Idol. I can hardly wait.
