Large corporations in the United States influenced the economy by instilling control over an economic sector through vertical or horizontal integration, leading to higher prices and poorer quality goods. American citizens felt that it was necessary to reverse such trends, by having the large and wealthy corporations donate back to the poor (Doc E). This idea followed very closely with Andrew Carnegie’s The Gospel of Wealth,…
Citizens United v. FEC allowed for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they wanted in order to convince the public either to vote for or against a candidate. They are protected by the First Amendment, which allows for them to have unlimited spending. However, the Supreme Court argued that it is illegal for corporations or labor unions to give money directly to candidate. The Supreme Court argued that if corporations or labor unions give money directly to a candidate, it could lead to corruption. Ultimately, I agree with the Supreme Court decision that it is illegal for them to do this and agree that they can persuade the public through other methods. For instance, corporations and labor unions can persuade the public through ads…
Actually, “the Fortune 100 companies alone had combined revenues of $13 trillion and profits of $605 billion during the last election cycle”(Pro 1). Through this money, the companies have the ability to push their agendas onto candidates, which creates politicians only focused on a select fews problems because they are worried about appeasing them to gain the necessary funding. In addition, this decision drastically puts back the time scales of democracy by more than a century, which is treatourous for the entire country (Pro…
He understands the fact, that people may commit corrupt actions. However, this does not mean that they are corrupt in nature. Lesig provides a term, which he coins a dependence corruption. One of the main solutions that Lesig gives is to offer vouchers, which candidates use to run for political office. Though Lesig believes this may help, it may hurt the political process. Instead of having vouchers, the amount of money should just be limited. Corporations want as much influence as possible, so instead of the influence being eliminated, it would be better to limit the amount of money that is being used in political…
“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money,” Rousey said. I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.”…
These businesses used their power to cloak their wrongdoing by paying off governmental leaders and buying out elections in their favor. Therefore, corruption ran rampant as was shown in President Woodrow Wilson’s Inaugural Address when he stated, “Our great Government we loved has too often been made use of for private and selfish purposes, and those who used it had forgotten the people.” (Doc.…

If you look at our current candidates for the presidential elections for 2016, people like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have millions of dollars donated to them so they can campaign for certain laws and goals. With the money received from supporters, these candidates are able to continue their campaign for presidency while other people like Rick Perry had to drop out because he had no more funds. To me, whoever has the most money and support from businesses are more likely to get government positions. Furthermore, if you look at the controversial candidate Donald Trump, I only think he has a high stand in the presidential race because he was already a powerful and rich businessman prior to his declaration in joining. Trump is a billionaire and his status in the business world as well as his connections propels him to have a better chance to become one of the finalists in the race, at least that is what I believe. If businesses did not play a factor in elections, campaigns would be much more modest and Trump would most likely not be in a favorable light to…
Corporations contribute a lot of money to today 's public school system, so it is safe to say that not all sponsorship can be considered problematic. "…schools get ten cents for each box top logo they send in, and can earn up to $10,000 a year…all you need is a school of 528 kids to get that free computer" (144). Companies like Coke, Nike, Pepsi, and other affiliates constantly put money into schools to either better the education or to provide certain facilities the students need in order to further their academic and sometimes athletic careers. At some points these contributions may seem conflicting and sometimes questionable, but at best they are just providing for today 's youth. A vast majority of public schools in our country do not have the advantage of a fairly large budget in order to have certain facilities such as a library, or even a gymnasium. This is where corporations see that their contributions are welcome and much…

Whenever someone goes to a high school football game, it is hard to ignore all of the posters and sponsors from certain corporations hung all around the stadium. In today’s generation, an abundance of schools focuses on advertisements and corporate deals for their extracurricular activities. There are banners, logos, posters, etc. posted all over the walls of corporate sponsored schools. Some schools have even gone as far as allowing certain corporations to sponsor cafeterias, clothing, and food and drinks. There are many pros, and cons when a school is being sponsored by a corporation. However, the pros definitely outweigh the cons in this situation. Schools should definitely allow corporate sponsorships since it positively impacts the school and its’ students as a whole.…
