Remember the ’50’s when “payola” destroyed DJ’s? Today’s spin is just acceptable behavior, in a culture that can even accept a serial adulterer, thief, and fraud, as a potential presidential candidate, let alone “President”.
“Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, (from Ancient Greek: κλέπτης (thief) and κράτος (rule), “rule by thieves”) is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often without pretense of honest service."-————http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy
No one here has said that Unions should keep the irrational new “right of citizenship” that the Supreme Court has given corporations and other organizations. They aren’t people either. (BTW You know that quote you use for you name isn’t from Churchill. It’s an “adaptation” from something said by a French monarchist.)

Thanks to the New Supreme Court in the pockets of the Koch Brothers. Scalia and Thomas have brought us here on golden wings
