I've noticed a consistency in candidate ads this Autumn. Republicans are corporate funded. Democrats are refusing corporate funding. I hope that the independents are noticing this also.
"At the same time, the billionaire was able to draw about $280 million from small donors giving $200 or less. Super-PACs, which can take contributions unlimited in size, were similarly skewed toward his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Clinton and her super-PACs raised a total of $1.2 billion, less than President Barack Obama raised in 2012. Her sophisticated fundraising operation included a small army of wealthy donors who wrote seven-figure checks, hundreds of bundlers who raised $100,000 or more from their own networks, and a small-dollar donor operation modeled on the one used by Obama in 2012"

Republicans, I'm ready for your taunts now.
A handful of dems are refusing corporate funding most of them are bought as well hence the decline of the labor movement in the USA. Its going to take drastic measures to retake the democratic party from corporate ownership.

It would be nice if the left would simply acknowledge that corporations are just collectives, groups, of people, all sharing in some common endeavor or enterprise.
Nothing different than any other group of individuals.
Why the hate? I defy anyone to say that they could live their lives without any corporations.
You'd never get most of the services you need if you could only contract with individual natural persons for them. You'd die, basically.
My livelihood depends on my corporate employer staying in business.
Labor laws should be reasonable. Right wing groups, pacs, and companies don't like it that way. If they have it their way we can all be fired at whim, or forced into arbitration when they can't fire us and the public service unions will be forced out of existence.
