Jefferson and Madison's Constitution and Modern Gridlock

Reader Comments

The article states very well:

"What would they think of the parties today?

Madison and Jefferson would be completely horrified by the amount of money connected to elections. There's no way that Madison or Jefferson would have supported the Supreme Court's recent [Citizens United] ruling or would support the idea that a powerful group of wealthy donors could have that much influence over the outcome of elections."

A lot of companies and Chinese government corporations funded the tea party movement. They want leaders who will be pro-business , anti-printing of dollars, and pro free trade, all of those things make China stronger as we ship American factories overseas (and jobs too). The tea party money came from China!
