Hm, I can think of a lot of conservative ideas this describes perfectly.
If we're talking about keeping a sense of morality in the country, yeah, I can as well. For instance: Sodomy. But I can also show where the liberal ideology has failed, and not only on issues [im]moral. Repeatedly.
It's not an issue of free speech; that's just an excuse to get the funding and ads you want.
It is an issue of free speech! Corporations have just as much interest in who runs our country as individual citizens, and they have a right to support those interests! Or are you implying that corporations don't have a right to free speech? If a corporation has no rights, then how can they even exist within the US? And how are we to deal with people like George Soros who is an individual and does the exact same thing? Should we introduce limits on people with a certain dollar amount to their name, too?
A person is a person no matter how small OR how large. Just on the legal basis, a person can be defined as an individual, partnership, or legal entity. Corporations are legal entities. The Constitution covers the rights of all legal persons residing within the US. So how are we to determine which rights a corporation should and should not have? Because the Constitution doesn't stipulate any differences, and it shouldn't!
Individual people can have just as much impact as corporations - especially if they have a high net worth. Government being run as a business, as you say, has nothing to do with the actual corporations and everything to do with the citizens who do NOT get involved. It has to do with the politicians that are in office. It's a problem, but the way to get past problems is never to abridge the rights of our citizens! Never ever!
I will never understand class envy. I thought America was about opportunity and realizing the American Dream - achieving success. But it seems more and more that we as a nation are more concerned with our own woes and finding someone else on whom to place the blame. Someone else to fix it. Someone "higher" to penalize because we're jealous. "Stick it to The Man. Stick it to Big Business. It's all their fault."
