Why? The Supreme Court decision, in Citizens United, allowing basically unfettered corporate contributions to political advertising.
If Congressional Democrats think they've been politically attacked in the past by folks like Big Pharma, they ain't seen nothing.
This is the latest in the incredibly bad fallout from corporations being found to be "persons" before the law.
The Washington Post has a good roundup of reactions.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
