@Secretoriginz Winston-Salem

@IKillKitten4Fun Because TPTB have done a great job of equating Democracy and Captialism.

@IKillKitten4Fun If I knew the answer to that, I'd be a rich man. And then I wouldn't tell you.

@jakeroy Boston

@IKillKitten4Fun Wrong. We have more free speech than ever before. We have the internet. Plus, money has ALWAYS bought power

@ArtisticWC Down Yander

Ignorance is bliss...we like the illusion that we can make a difference. Lobbyist and Constituents have a lot of pull

@dontbefnserious United States

@JD20012112

. I have no problem with people or corporations giving money to politicians, I have a problem with politicians who take it...

@shuntera Charlotte, NC

Twitter is free speech, the poorest of us have never had such a loud voice as we have now.

11:57AM Mon, June 25 2012

@DriverLarryinBC

@ikillkitten4fun I agree and understand. #systemfail

equal speech has nothing to do with free speech. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, not equality of speech.

@Genevieve0404 Saskatchewan Canada

that concept has no basis of referance to the "common people" can't ever imagine what it would be like to have that much money.

12:02PM Mon, June 25 2012

@JCGlucks LA, CA

have faith, Judd. Things'll start trickling down any minute now, just like Reagan promised.

12:10PM Mon, June 25 2012

@moemoe763

@ikillkitten4fun those who don't understand it are those who have never backed a cause they truly believe in. They're blinded.

12:24PM Mon, June 25 2012

@wordsmithward

@ikillkitten4fun we could all have it all but it requires a different focus. Not money, universal leisure.

12:30PM Mon, June 25 2012

@pa_tall

I think those people understand they just don't want to do anything about it

12:44PM Mon, June 25 2012

@ikillkitten4fun Without right to publish/amplify/broadcast your speech at your own expense, free speech is meaningless.

1:15PM Mon, June 25 2012

@JordanDotJosh Pensacola, FL

@IKillKitten4Fun give the politicians less power and there is nothing to buy. Easier than finding moral politicians.

1:27PM Mon, June 25 2012

@MaxTwain

@IKillKitten4Fun So how much power did George Clooney buy himself with that $15million fundraiser?

1:34PM Mon, June 25 2012

@am123ip Don't remember

@IKillKitten4Fun in a way, money IS power (and there is real freedom of speech rarely)

1:38PM Mon, June 25 2012

@jakeroy Boston

There were always be corporations, the other option is to have no corpos, then you just have a govt to take everything away

2:29PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

campaign finance reform. Or a revolution.

2:36PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

True. The system will Always prop up the wealthy and corporations. Change will not happen. It may for a short time then SSDD.

2:47PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

@JuddApatow True. We may have the right to "free speach" but no one is listening or cares. At least no one with power to change it.

2:49PM Mon, June 25 2012

@jakeroy Boston

The 1 system that satisfies someone like u is anarchy, which doesnt work. USA is messed but has the best system there is.

3:23PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

They are either blind to the issue, dont care and are content to live in there "own little world" because it "doesn't affect me"

5:06PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

@JuddApatow edit to first tweet. Their not there.

5:08PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

I never mentioned anarchy. Don't put words in my mouth. It's not polite. And while not the worst the US is far from the best.

7:25PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

Do not be so idiotic as to think you know "someone like me" based off of a few twitter comments.

7:28PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

@JuddApatow What you just described is not "free speech" if it is paid for. One person has no more right to speech than another

7:30PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

@jakeroy Although I can't be sure I would assume that the actions of our forefathers would have been considered anarchy

7:44PM Mon, June 25 2012

@IKillKitten4Fun Texas

@jakeroy by the ruling class. Their "anarchy" founded this "great nation".
