Citizen's United is by far the absolute WORST decision to come out of the SCOTUS since Dredd Scott vs. Sandford or Plessy vs. Ferguson.

Citzens United evened the playing field. I'd rather have corporate money in election than union money.

Of course you would. Corporate money bankrolls the guys you happen to like.

Citizens United lifted the same restrictions on unions as it did on corporations.

Sane people who like non corrupt democracy would prefer niether.

If it "evened the playing field" or not can be discussed. I'd say it tilted it beyond absurdity. But that's irrelevant. Fact of the matter is, it's the wrong fucking playing field.

Lets look at the union workers who are forced to go out on election day and campain for Dem canidates.

they are not compensated for this.

Corp don't force their workers to go campaign for Republicans

another example of why corporate heads are ethicly superior to union thug leaders.
