The 2012 Presidential election will be the first to allow unlimited corporate contributions. The nation's wealthiest plutocrats and biggest corporations already own a major political party, and employ thousands of lobbyists and lawyers to ensure their continued prosperity. Not satisfied with this advantage, they're also going after labor unions nationwide, trying to limit or destroy their political power and organizing. We live in a different country than even a decade ago, and until the middle class realizes that economic war is being waged against it by the plutocrats, it won't change.
