koan, we are a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy. in a democracy, 51% can vote to enslave the other 49%. that isn't our structure. the elites want people to think it is so they can vote away our constitutional rights - like to have free speech and bear arms. they want to sack sheep, not armed sheep. *I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic* for which it stands...** Don't Tread On Me - The Rise of the Republic vodpod.com actually, we mostly agree. the one point i think you miss is that the people who control the private federal reserve (not federal and has no reserves) are the ones who are insiders and have the ability to print themselves trillions of dollars and then dole it out to politicians who then appoint judges to do the will of those who control the federal reserve. >>The dems have been trying to get public financing of campaigns for 50 years and the Republicans always stop them because they get more money from corporations and are the part of big business.<< uh, no. both parties play good cop / bad cop in order to deceive the populace. the democrats don't want campaign finance reform... no way! they may lie, but you know politicians lie all the time. watch what they do, not what they say. >>Ironic it is so often the working man who supports them. Helps them steal our money. Like the 182 billion to AIG.<< the people who called congress were about 99-1 against the bailout. the politicians don't work for the people, though. >>The people are to blame for not insisting on public financing of campaigns.<< ultimately, the buck falls on a lethargic public. but if a grandmother leaves her door unlocked and a criminal comes in and stabs her, i'm blaming the criminal FIRST, not the grandma. the two party spectrum is a fraud - it is really big (dems, pubs, corps, banks) vs small (citizenry, smaller business, cities, counties, states). vrabel nails it here: csper.org
