Even more than now, because of this decision democracy is now completely for sale. It is nolonger democracy of the people, but a democracy of the corporation.

Okay, not knowing too much about this...
This allows corporations to donate money to various parties/political races, much like how unions and other organizations/individuals can?

This law just upholds that there is no limit to what ORGANIZATIONS (unions, corporations, etc)can spend. Many would argue that only individual citizens should be able to donate.
Since corporations have more money than unions or anybody else, this only finalizes what many have known for decades: The US govt is fully owned and operated subsidiary of corporate enterprises

Well in a democracy it is a right to spend money on anything you want as long as it isn`t illegal and it is rightfully your money. But the fact that corporations tend to be greedy and always skeeming to get an extra penny these days. Also unions are kind of like this. Do you know how hard it is to fire a bad teacher. Schools just tend to send them to the easiest class and if that doesn`t work they get transferred to a new school. the world is messed up know days
