1. Yes, corporation type people are just special
They have more free speech cause they have more money.

As far as I could tell from the ruling, it looks like we have a limit but corporations do not.

2. Not true
scotus says no limit on corporate contributions to pols


Corporations aren't allowed to donate money to politicians. They can spend all the money they want advocating an issue or a politician, but so can people.
