(I'm guessing, Janie, that you are using 'tertiary' in the sense of "third in rank". I had to look it up, because that is not the most common meaning to me.
"I don't think that the Founding Fathers were all that concerned about money but here we are with a governemnt that is purchased by the folks with the most money... It is not a governemnt of the people and for the people... It is a governemnt that is owned by the monied class..." Bobert
I tend to disagree with you a little, Bobert- 200plus years ago, only the comparatively rich could vote. Only land owners. No women, no slaves. "Government of the people, by the people and for the people" had limited application.
Capitalism- the government of making money to make one's dreams come true, you know. Today's capitalism has a lot of safeguards that it used not to have. In some ways, we have gotten better.
