> A discussion about clauses such as this is well needed in general

We can have a discussion, but because money is speech, the voices of individuals will be drowned out by the voices of corporations.



The world has far more individuals than hundred billion dollar corporations.


The hundred billion dollar companies have the ability to buy the storyline they want portrayed in the media.

And their ability to voice themselves is related to how much money they have. After all, nearly all forms of mass communication are directly controlled by said corporations.


Roughly 5 corporations effectively are nearly all forms of mass communication.
