If we're talking about keeping a sense of morality in the country, yeah, I can as well. For instance: Sodomy.
Homosexuality has nothing to do with this issue, nor is it anything the government should be controlling. What someone does in their bedroom is not my business. The government doesn't moderate sex before marriage, or extramarital sex, so if you're going to push for one thing, you have to push for all of the above. And if you do push for all of the above, then we're back to a puritan society and The Scarlett Letter Maybe you want that but I sure don't; it's not so far away from Islamic extremism.
And frankly the government shouldn't have anything to do with marriage, either. People shouldn't get special benefits just for being married. We don't need the government regulating it. It should be a church thing like it was before the 1920s.
But again it has absolutely nothing to do with limitations on soft campaign funds.
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!
Corporations do get representation -- because every individual gets his/her own vote. Individuals can support candidates and bring up their own concerns any way they want. But just because corporations have more money than individuals does not mean that they should get to have more impact on who is elected to office. Corporations aren't always corrupt -- but this country isn't just about big business.
I will never understand class envy.
It's not class envy; it's that the wealthy shouldn't be the only ones who get to speak, and let's face it, the wealthy do get to say more because they can pay more. And I believe the wealthy have a certain responsibility to those who are not so wealthy. That's a biblical principle.
Wow, my blood pressure's up too early in the morning. Must go do something relaxing like write fanfic. ;)
