How many votes do you think a large corporation like Exxon - Mobil
is entitled to?

If they've a greater right than that of an average citizen to donate
to a political candidate, and they do, the that's elevating corporations
far above those rights granted to U.S. citizens.

Thus corporations can thus easily move the U.S. towards the very definition
of a fascist state as defined by Benito Mussolini.

Your average U.S. citizen is strictly limited in what they can donate,
the corporations are NOT.

Thus we still have a Representative government only now it
represents corporate interests over that of the American people.
