The Dollar Vote

Throughout the 1950's the United States played a dramatic role in numerous foreign countries as they influenced elections and toppled foreign leaders. There hand reached into Guatemala, Cuba, Iran, etc. It would seem that the United States government was the master of its own destiny and that of many other countries.

Ironically the Supreme Court recently ruled that corporations could begin spending as they see fit in U.S. elections. This includes foreign companies. Obama stated that the decision would allow domestic and "foreign corporations, to spend without limit on our elections." It would seem that the U.S. is no longer the master of even its own destiny. This is what happens when 51 of the 100 wealthiest governments/corporations are corporations.
