We Americans are proud of our democratic heritage….the great American ideal—–we are so proud of it that we try to export it whenever possible…..by force if necessary.

We are so proud that we have let the whole democratic experiment slip from our hands……..that democratic ideal that our Founders were so amour with has ceased to exist….Professor, what say you?

For decades the US has been retreating from the very ideas of the Founding Fathers…….and now there is a hint of truth to the claim…..

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

In English: the wealthy few move policy, while the average American has little power.

The two professors came to this conclusion after reviewing answers to 1,779 survey questions asked between 1981 and 2002 on public policy issues. They broke the responses down by income level, and then determined how often certain income levels and organised interest groups saw their policy preferences enacted.

“A proposed policy change with low support among economically elite Americans (one-out-of-five in favour) is adopted only about 18% of the time,” they write, “while a proposed change with high support (four-out-of-five in favour) is adopted about 45% of the time.”

It is time to stop pretending that the Constitution is the law of the land……..we know it is just a prop….the real law is that of………..CASH!

The presidency stands for wealth…..the legislature is bought with every election……and the judicial has become the servant of the wealthy……..every desire of the population is nothing compared to the needs of the wealthy.

Elections are doing nothing for the voter…….the politicians are doing nothing for the people………and  the cash grows more powerful with each passing election……..and the people grow powerless.

Can all this change?

Not in today’s political climate……….and the storm grows stronger and the cash is limitless……….and the people need to learn to suffer in silence…..or force a change!
