In This Picture It Shows Mitt Romney Taking Away The Obama Care, But Is Making The Subject More Understanding By Turning It Into An Entertaining Cartoon Photo. Being that obama is a democrat republicans strongly disagree with Obama care and during a debate over Obamacare, Democrats and the president said that Obama care would lower health care costs, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, protect Medicare, and allow Americans to keep their health care plans. Two years later none of those promises were kept. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ || media type="custom" key="18566496" width="127" height="127" align="center"

The Government Should Have Less Power To Tax And Spend, Not More Power To Regulate Speech

Everyone Has Their Own Opinion

Critic’s decisions say the sky of American democracy is falling. Supporters say it’s a great day for the republic and a vindication of the freedom of speech. How can this be? Are nonprofit think tanks and advocacy groups odd bedfellows who supported Citizens United all in the pockets of Wall Street, Big Oil, insurance companies, and others that President Obama assails as corrupting our politics? Leaving aside the issue of why the politician who got more of his campaign funding from Goldman Sachs than any other source would be going after the very industries that most support him, the asymmetry in this debate rests on the myth that money is an evil in the political system, and that therefore the American people want so-called campaign finance reform to “clean up” government.

Money In Politics

Money is no more an evil in politics than it is in life generally. Some people may not like mud-slinging attack ads, but some people also don’t like many other things that people spend money on. The problem with money in politics isn’t the money, but rather the politics. So long as the government is powerful enough to dole out tax breaks, subsidies, stimulus funds, regulations, earmarks, and a whole host of other goodies (and baddies), those that stand to benefit (and lose) will spend money on the political process. The way to get rid of this behavior and spending—which is constitutionally protected in a whole host of ways: freedom of speech, freedom of association, the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, etc.—is to reduce the government’s power to affect so many people’s lives and transform economic incentives for businesses big and small.

Campaign Finance

26 states have minimal campaign finance laws, with no evidence that those states have more corruption—or a more unequal “political playing field”—than states that strictly regulate. And that’s because the real reason we have campaign finance regulations is that it’s an incumbency protection racket. McCain-Feingold and all other campaign finance legislation—passed by self-interested politicians—is designed to make it harder for challengers. After-all, incumbents have the benefit of name recognition, taxpayer-funded travel to and around their home districts and states, taxpayer-funded campaign literature disguised as informational flyers touting all the great things a congressman is doing, and a host of other advantages.

What Really Is The First Amendment?

The First Amendment is not a “loophole” for big business and those of us who want more free speech—without bureaucrats deciding who gets to speak when and how much—are not corporate shills. Free speech is the very foundation of our democracy, and we are stronger today for the Citizens United decision.‍
