Kantor,
The $2500 is the amount that a person can give to a actual politicians campaign. Not what a company can give to a politicians campaign. A company can give $5000 to a political campaign. Yet companies can get around this limitation. Companies can give money to organizations that support a politician without giving the money directly to the politician and the rules are slippery.
The Citizens United ruling allows corporations to donate as much as they want to a 501c4 which does not have to disclose who its donors are. SuperPac's need to disclose who the donors are, but get this they can take donations from 501c4s and since 501c4s dont need to disclose the donors in reality knowing that a SuperPac got $X from a 501c4 tells you nothing. So Karl Rove for instance has already declared his SuperPac and 501c4 (separate organizations) that they will spend $250 million supporting the GOP candidate for President.
Corporate Personhood is giving corporations human rights. Like allowing corporations to no turnover incriminating documents claiming the 5th amendment (not incriminating yourself). Certainly you have heard people say stuff like Corporations will be people when Texas executes one.
Basic mantra that many in the OWS is "Corporations are not people and money is not speech". People are asking for congress to simply pass a law to overturn a Supreme Court decision. This will take an amendment to the Constitution.
As for President Obama contributions from Wall Street. Do some digging and you will see they came from individual employees of financial services companies. The President's campaign was dominated by small individual donations from actual people. And President Obama is not clearly left wing. He is more of a moderate.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
