Has given us a fairly good democracy up until the 1990. We are fully an oligarchy now, and moving into fascist territory, but it was a gradual process with it's ups and downs.

It's kind of like capitalism has taken over our government. I mean in capitalism the richest people and corporations have the most advantage in the market place. The richest are always trying to create monopolies so they don't have to compete with everyone else.

As an oligarchy, the filthy-rich have a monopoly on governmental power. Whatever the majority wants no longer matters. It's what the filthy-rich wants that gets enacted.

Now there's a tradition we could do without...... capitalism and "free" trade.
