"Why should big corporations be allowed to use their big money to buy politicians?"
It's called the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Why should the NY Times, Fox News, George Soros, the Sierra Club, or the SEIU be able to influence and contribute to political campaigns but not, say, Caterpillar or Boeing?
