Are billionaires proud or ashamed of their antics? When they rob a bank, guess for whom it's renamed? But when they steal elections they prefer anonymity. Who wants to be seen as the one who gets blamed? Buying elections used to be frowned upon As undemocratic and worth jail time if caught… Until "Justice" Scalia's gift to billionaire friends Of permission to spend ev'rything that they've got On 501(c)(4) organizations so we won't know How much they have given to buy what they want – Like no regulations controlling pollution, Or naming rights to Delaware and Vermont. "Citizens United" has allowed Koch corporations To use organizations like CCPS As conduits for their campaign contributions While remaining in hiding from "Elliot Ness". Thanks to Scalia there are now no restrictions On what News Corporation or Koch Industries gives. So anonymous donors buy our politicians… What are Democracy's alternatives?
