Capitalism is the greatest economic system. But, 15 years ago, the Supreme Court decided in the Citizens United decision that unlimited campaign donations by corporations was a form of free speech. Now this country spends Billions on political campaigns rather than putting money to better use. Corporations, and more specifically their owners, boards, and CEO's spend freely for their political choice. The Supreme Court is bought. Politicians are bought, thus our elections are bought, and therefore our nation is bought. We have been heading towards oligarchy since then. Shop Small. Shop local.
