The wealthy are also laying fields of landmines to torpedo democracy for decades to come.
Dead billionaires can buy elections long after they pass away, thanks to their think tanks, tax havens, & trust funds.
Corporate personhood violates one person, one vote democracy.
Bradley passed away in 1965. His money is close to buying the overturn of the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchising women.
2010 is when a corrupt Supreme Court turned on democracy.
