re: #293 Dark_Falcon

Then you make my case in my eyes. Because if the rich guy is to be restricted from meeting with senators (not about polling places, but about a trade treaty of great import to his company) then how he effectively make his case? He may well need the megaphone his money can buy him because while the treaty might not effect most people that much, it might be the difference between growth and contraction for his business.

I’ll go you one better: What about a union whose workers work for that same business? The way that amendment would work, said union would have no rights save those extended to it by law. If the government wanted, it could dissolve the union and expropriate its local offices.

And people who aren’t rich don’t have interests and needs? How will they make their case? Something that might impact their family and community for generations to come.
