Democracy lost to Elitist, Unrepresentative Millionaires

A recent report confirms that 44% of the American Congress are millionaires! Have we so easily forgotten that democracy is supposed to be MAJORITY rule?

Australia’s Prime Minister is a multi-millionaire as is the conservative opposition leader, Malcolm ‘Goldman Sachs’ Turnbull! Should we expect REPRESENTATION for MAJORITY interests in these circumstances or MORE of the same (corrupt) elitist REALITY -- wealth for the few and less for everyone else? The question is of course rhetorical – it’s not rocket science.

It may be time to elect REAL REPRESENTATIVE MEMBERS of our respective communities to government and RESTORE DEMOCRACY, what do YOU think?

Forget the MYTHS that the rich are more capable or able -- as is now painfully known -- they are simply more corrupt and CRIMINAL! The elitist rich are responsible for the CURRENT global economic collapse and the TRILLIONS in BAIL-OUT debt dumped squarely on the shoulders of the people -- that’s us, represented by no one but exploited by everyone!

Yet it doesn’t have to be this way – we simply Exercise our democratic rights at every election and either force the corrupt bastards to reveal their corrupt hand (by rejecting major parties) or we successfully install REPRESENTATIVE LEADERS in free, fair, non-computerised, elections!

My grandmother could run a nation better than the current crop of crooks, rogues and incompetent puppets.

Who knows, we might even save the planet and our own LIVES – I’m not joking!

Highly informative and entertaining lectures delivered by Dr Michael Parenti
