The Citizens United Supreme Court decision in 2010 marked a pivotal moment in the relationship between money and politics. By ruling that corporations and unions could spend unlimited funds in support of political candidates, the Court effectively opened the floodgates for corporate influence in elections. This ruling has led to an environment where Super PACs, funded by vast sums of corporate money, dominate the electoral landscape. These political action committees can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money, allowing corporations to exert unprecedented control over which candidates gain visibility and support, often sidelining those who might represent the interests of average citizens.
