28. WAR against DEMOCRACY waged by the POLITICAL DONOR CLASS.

The rest of the world, that is different. But "We the People" are at fault for letting politicians believe that they are elevated above their constituents when elected and that "they know what is best". So called public servants enter the DONOR DEPENDENT class and think nothing of violating their oath of office. Almost, seems pathetic, that many take that OATH on a BIBLE. Rather ironic wouldnt you say.
We the People are in the midst of a war, we did not ask for, but we certainly are paying for in loss of DEMOCRACY and access to the benefits of Adam smith Capitalism as opposed to CORRUPT corporate capitalism. The good is that the GOP/TPARTY in all their arrogance have exposed themselves and their true vision for AMERICA. And we the people, have the time to reject those extreme anti-social justice policies. Elections do have consequences, it is just that for some time now, Many of americans have forgotten that DUTY as part of their citizenship.
We will have to stay vigilant. We already, saw how the MI legislature submarined the womens rights groups by including some anti abortion aspects to the Rt to wk law. We the people got suckered and it is time to stop the development of NORQUISTAN and restore USA.
