Mmmm, i don't know...'democracy' ORIGINALLY was meant to make the people, as in 'We the People' sovereign, instead of a king, or a Pope. The problem is that those who think of a monarchy, or ruling class, weren't about to let this one get by them, and so they worked on controlling the money and banking system....and even though we were warned about it, REPEATEDLY, it was rammed through by appealing to the ideologues, of the times, that made it sound appealing. Now, instead of a government who mints money, as a service to provide a means of exchange, we have private bankers, who print money and 'sell' it to the government, with interest..and has become a way for those very same bankers to provide control for themselves, instead of a currency, for the means of exchange!!! Those same bankers now influence the 'lawmakers' to champion various noble sounding 'causes' and 'programs' to remedy the 'causes'..so they can 'fund' them with their interest bearing printed money....and we get stuck with the bill...and bicker about what NEW program we need foisted on us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....Through those 'noble' well meaning, do-gooders, called parties!!!.....and who funds the parties??...The private banksters who are printing fiat money, and charging us interest!
