Letter to a Senator

I.B. Rad

Despite being vilified, recent Supreme Court rulings
barely scratch the surface
for while affirming corporations as persons
and campaign contributions as protected speech
they fail to fully incorporate the relationship
between money and personhood in America
whose poor, working, and middle classes
scarcely count as citizens
while those most fiscally endowed
command more representation than entire cities.
Accordingly, I ask that Congress legislate the following:
“Instead of ‘one person, one vote’
citizens will be treated as stockholders
with each individual’s share of America
commensurate with their relative wealth;
consequently, as at any stockholders meeting,
each person (including ‘American’ corporations)
will have the number of votes
corresponding to their net worth”
(which in today’s America is their actual worth.)
I’m confident that this voting reform bill
is an equitable reflection of American democracy
which will obviate bribing and lobbying elected officials
while enabling our legislators to be more candidly obedient
to their true constituency.

                Respectfully yours,
                (Corporations are people too!)

                I.B. Rad
