The problem with America and the way our nation treats the rest of the world is that the people of the United States no longer have a real say in the government. Instead the wealthy corporate masters are pulling the puppet strings of the politicians whom they have purchased with illicit money that SCOTUS has allowed them to spend on politics. The only way to ensure that the voters have a real say in the government is to disallow all campaign contributions and in kind contributions from anyone not elegible to cast a vote in that election. Corporations are not real persons, they have no voting rights, but they have more say in the way politicians behave than voters because of the money the pols crave.
