Are Bishops Committing Murder? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: To be fear to Sirco, he is citing someone else's work on the Bible confirming a rather recent development in American constitutional law (less than two hundred years ago).  Indeed, if what he was calling for was really a level playing field on political speech when all was said and done, he would not be so blatantly obnoxious.  Indeed, if corporations really spoke in the interests of their shareholders, he might get a pass. That is not the case, however.  Corporations speak for their executive leadership, who often plunder both worker salaries and a more generous distribution of dividends to feather their own nests.  They want a monopoly on political speech - including less than truthful advertising campaigns that fool voters into voting against their own interests (see right to work, which is really right to hire undocumented immigrants and treat them like slaves).  I am not one who thinks a simple amendment to rebalance money as political speech will fix everything.  The problem is capitalism, both corporate and private (think Romeny).  Fix that and speech will not be a problem.
