I am motivated by a current student who responded to a post to begin adding to my blog once again.
This morning I was reading some op-ed articles in the Washington Post and came across one that speaks to incentives and influence in the political arena.
Like the writer, I find this Supreme Court decision very dangerous to our democracy. Balance of power is at stake here. Do we want a government run for the citizens or for special interests? In an economy where wealth is already becoming concentrated and the middle class is disappearing, do we want to give political power as well over to the market? Remember, in the market, the buyer who can pay the higest price receives the resources.
This doesn't seem like the country I was taught about in history class. Perhaps it does resemble the countries many of our ancesters fled where "royals" took all and the rest were serfs.
What do you think?
