Ben Cohen and John Bonifaz, Truthout: With the most politically active corporations reaping $760 for every $1 they donate to influence politics, these donors are well positioned to give 10 times the amount to national parties they were previously allowed, virtually dissolving McCain-Feingold campaign finance law gains.
