With the Supreme Court ruling that corporations are people too ("Soylent Corp. it's people, it's PEOPLE!!!!"), it is just a matter of time before our senators and representatives are bought and sold to the highest bidder. Will they be traded on Wall Street? Will they be treated like commodities and tracked along with pig bellies? [You can do your own jokes here and send them along as comments].
I think eBay might be another place, an auction seems natural to sell yourself to the highest bidder. They have consistently disallowed sales like this though.
But I think Amazon might dominate the trade. I can just see their helpful comment, "Corporations that bought this Senator, also bought these Representatives: ..."
I think this makes it official, we have the best government money can buy.
Doesn't it make sense to have everyone pay equally for elections rather than rich people and corporations? Work for government funded elections.
